Anna Kalinskaya: The Rising Star and Her Brief Romance with Jannik Sinner
So, let’s talk about Anna Kalinskaya—because if you’re following tennis or just keeping an eye on off-court headlines lately, her name’s probably come up. Anna isn’t just a name in the draw sheet anymore. She's turning heads with her performances and recently, for her high-profile (and now past) relationship with Jannik Sinner, the world No. 1.
Born in Moscow on December 2, 1998, Anna Kalinskaya started her tennis journey early, moving to the U.S. at age 14 to chase her dream professionally. She quickly made her mark, winning the 2016 Australian Open girls' doubles title at just 17. That was the beginning of what’s been a steady rise through the WTA ranks. Today, she's ranked inside the Top 40 and has shown she's not afraid of big matches—her standout quarterfinal run at the 2024 Australian Open and a finalist appearance in Dubai proved that.

But off the court, Anna's been in the spotlight for another reason: her relationship with Jannik Sinner. The tennis world buzzed when the couple went public during the French Open in May 2024. Fans saw them supporting each other courtside, practicing together, and genuinely looking like tennis’s next power couple. Their chemistry was obvious. But by May 2025, during a press conference at the Italian Open, Sinner confirmed that he was single again. No drama, no details—just a quiet ending to what seemed like a strong bond.
Still, it’s important not to let the headlines overshadow Anna’s athletic talent. She’s got a beautiful baseline game, an aggressive two-handed backhand, and a court presence that’s both poised and confident. In fact, under the mentorship of coach Patricia Tarabini, her game has matured immensely since 2019. That partnership has helped shape her into a more composed and strategic competitor.
Anna’s also proven herself on both sides of the tennis coin. While her singles game has reached career-best rankings—she hit world No. 11 in late 2024—she’s also found success in doubles, winning the Madrid Open in 2025 with Sorana Cîrstea. She’s clearly more than just a rising player; she’s evolving into a serious all-round threat on the tour.
So yeah, the chapter with Jannik Sinner has closed, but Anna Kalinskaya’s story is still being written—and if her recent form is anything to go by, the best is yet to come. Keep watching.
