Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf now belong to the talks of yesterday. As the young tennis couples enter the circuit with the underlying thought—live, love, laugh, and win! First, it was Katie Boulter and Alex de Minaur, and now Anna Kalinskaya wants to tread the path with her boyfriend, Jannik Sinner. The former couple made a strong statement as they won their respective tournaments together. And Kalinskaya hopes to be the next one in line.
In a recent post-match interview after her semifinal win at the Berlin Open 2024, Kalinskaya blushingly opened up her thoughts of being better and winning it with Sinner. When the interviewer informed Kalinskaya that Sinner defeated Zhang to reach the finale of Halle, She overcame former World No. 1 Victoria Azarenka to give herself a shot at the title. He asked her, “What is it with you?” referring to the couple-double!
With a big smile, Kalinskaya had just admiration and praise for her World No. 1 boyfriend. She said, “I’m just trying to be a little as good as him. It’s difficult; usually, I watch him, but today, okay?” The young couple would be playing their finals while hoping for a different timeline, allowing them to catch up with each other’s matches. “Let’s see if we can watch each other tomorrow online,” said Kalinskaya as she revealed her plan for the next hour. An excited yet blushing Kalinskaya said, “Congratulations to him. I’m gonna text him now. I’m so happy.”

With her boyfriend being the top player in the world, Kalinskaya seems to have extra motivation to stand beside him. As he gets ready for the Wimbledon Open 2024, her match against Aryna Sabalenka might have proved her grit to be a strong contender. Kalinskaya restricted Sabalenka to one game as she led the charge from the start. However, Sabalenka withdrew midway, due to shoulder issues, as the Russians proceeded to play in the finale. With her hard work and Sinner’s support, Kalinskaya may create history sooner than later!
Jannik Sinner is all hearts as he reacts to Kalinskaya’s Berlin Open performance
Love and appreciation go hand in hand for the young player. While Kalinskaya likes to be affectionate, Sinner is the quiet one, and maybe that’s why they make a perfect tennis couple. However, recently, Sinner broke his composure to motivate and celebrate Kalinskaya’s brilliant performance at the Berlin Open.
