Who is Jannik Sinner's ex-girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya? The duo shared public kiss before breakup
However, he did have a girlfriend at one point—a very well-known one, and the duo even engaged in some PDA.
In fact, a set of pictures released by Getty Images showed Sinner and his then-girlfriend, tennis player Anna Kalinskaya, sharing a kiss.
The kiss occurred in 2024, following Sinner's victory over Taylor Fritz in the U.S. Open men's singles final.
However, the romance did not work out, and Sinner declared in May that he was no longer dating anyone. Additionally, he has squashed claims that he was in a relationship with model, Lara Leito, or dated another model named Maria Braccini in the past.

What we know about Jannik Sinner's past relationship with Anna Kalinskaya
People claims that in May 2024, Sinner formally announced his relationship with Kalinskaya, a Russian professional tennis player. In September 2024, the U.S. Open kiss took place.
According to the reports, they were spotted together at Wimbledon as well. When Sinner announced his single status to the world at a press conference following the game, a year later, the romance was officially confirmed to be over, according to People.
Speaking with Vanity Fair Italia last year in June, Sinner made it apparent that being a professional tennis player and being in a relationship might be challenging.
"Of course, it's not easy, I travel a lot and during tournaments, I'm very focused. But I think it's a beautiful thing when you find the right love. Like for everyone," he stated. 'And then, if you think about it, the best tennis players in the world all have wives and children.'
Kalinskaya is presently ranked #39 among women's tennis players worldwide, as per WTA Tennis.

NBA insider reveals real reason behind Victor Wembanyama's China trip for monk training
NBA insider reveals real reason behind Victor Wembanyama's China trip for monk training (Image Source: Getty Images) Victor Wembanyama made an unexpected turn this summer. The 21-year-old San Antonio Spurs star visited China rather than staying in France or working out with NBA coaches Stateside. Images came to light showing him working with Shaolin monks. Fans wondered about the reason, but the actual story behind this unexpected move is now coming to light and it speaks much about Wembanyama's mental attitude. Victor Wembanyama takes intense kung fu path in China to rebuild body and mind Victor Wembanyama did something unexpected this summer. Instead of training in the U.S. or France, he flew to China. Fans were surprised. Why was the NBA star at a Shaolin temple? What was he doing there? (Image Source: X) The 21-year-old didn't follow the usual path. Most NBA players work out in gyms. They train with coaches. But Wembanyama went somewhere different. He chose a temple known for kung fu, not basketball. He spent part of his offseason there. The place is old and full of history. It's where monks train their minds and bodies. It's not where you'd expect to find a 7-foot-4 athlete. According to Michael C. Wright of ESPN, Wembanyama stayed at the Shaolin Temple in Zhengzhou. He was there for 10 days in early July 2025. The temple is in Henan Province, China. It's world-famous for training monks in kung fu and mental discipline. Victor Wembanyama chose Shaolin monks over regular trainers Sources told Michael C. Wright of ESPN that Victor Wembanyama made the trip to challenge both his body and mind. 'He wanted something different,' Wright reported. 'It wasn't about shooting drills or weights. It was about control, focus, and learning how to move better.' Wembanyama used this time to study kung fu and body movement techniques. He worked on mental focus and learned how to position his body in new ways that may help his performance on the basketball court. According to Wright, this style of training could help him improve his flexibility and balance, skills that are beneficial for a big man in the NBA. 'He's always pushing himself,' said one team staff member who spoke anonymously. 'He doesn't think like other players.' The French star is also coming off a serious medical condition. In March 2025, he was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder. Now, he's been cleared to return to full training and plans to apply what he learned in China to his game. Wembanyama led the NBA in blocks in his second season, even though he only played 46 games. His efforts in China demonstrate his commitment to reaching his full potential.
