In the whirlwind of sports, where athletes often seem like invincible titans on the field, it’s easy to forget that they, too, are human beings who need moments of respite. Yet, amidst the clamor of their on-field triumphs, we rarely glimpse into the private lives of these sports stars. However, a recent revelation on social media has lifted the veil. Anna Kalinskaya, the accomplished tennis player and newfound love interest of Italian sensation Jannik Sinner, took to social media to share a candid glimpse into her off-court life

Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya and soon-to-be World No. 1 Jannik Sinner recently revealed their relationship. The news had taken their fans by delight who were already predicting a possibility. The couple was spotted in the crowd, cheering for each other during the Roland Garros, confirming the rumors that had been swirling online. Anna, currently ranked 25th on the WTA tour, is quite active on Instagram, often sharing glimpses on her profile.

In a recent Instagram story, Anna shared a meme that revealed her favorite solo activities: binge-watching and trying out delicacies. The caption read, “Don’t you get tired being alone? Me being alone:” with the image. The meme featured a girl in nightwear with a lazy, relaxed vibe. With a drink in hand, the girl was shown scrolling on a laptop while doing skincare, perfectly capturing Anna’s relaxed downtime routine.

This meme aligns with what Anna has previously shared about her hobbies. In an interview with WTAtennis.com, she mentioned that she likes to disconnect from tennis when off the court. “I like to do make-up, some shopping. I like to discover things outside tennis and talk about other things with people. So I’m not so focused on tennis all the time.” Anna also highlighted her love for cooking, saying, “I like to cook a lot. I can cook almost everything. I haven’t tried sushi yet.”

Anna’s playful personality and her laid-back attitude off the court might be part of what attracted Jannik Sinner. This cheekiness, along with her charm, likely played a role in Sinner stepping out of his usual character to publicly express his love for Anna.

After winning his opening round at Roland Garros, the Italian star confirmed his relationship with Anna. “You know me, I don’t like to talk about my private life, but we are together.” He added, “Yes, I’m with Anna, but we keep everything very confidential. I won’t say more.”

As the French Open continues, it will be interesting to see if Sinner benefits from a bit of ‘lady luck’ in the semifinals as he prepares to face the in-form Carlos Alcaraz.
