The Russian tennis player Kalinskaya had a downright ‘no’ to that question. And she mentioned breaking up with the Aussie player. She was lukewarm about the talks regarding Kyrgios and asked the tennis fans to show some respect for her.
“No I don’t! We broke up. We aren’t friends. I understand you are his fans and it’s cool but I’m not going to talk about him. I have some respect for me as well, please. Thanks,” Kalinskaya replied to the question of whether she’s dating Nick or not.
