“I think it’s a beautiful thing when you find the right love. Like for everyone,” the 2025 Aus Open champion Jannik Sinner had said this about Anna Kalinskyaya. After an incredibly successful 2024, Sinner has started 2025 with a bang and is grabbing headlines. But off the court, his relationship with WTA star Anna Kalinskaya also turned heads. The couple shared sweet, rare moments but things seemed to cool down by the end of the year. Limited interactions and social media changes sparked rumors of a breakup. So what’s the deal with this power couple?
To retrace their relationship: Sinner and Kalinskaya reportedly began dating in April 2024 after practicing together briefly. During the French Open in May, the top-seeded ATP star confirmed their relationship, saying, “Yes, I’m with Anna, but we keep everything very confidential. I won’t say more.” Known for guarding his private life, Sinner later told Vanity Fair Italia in June, “I see it as a small task to carry out, almost a duty: they helped me, when I was young, to gain self-confidence, and today in some way I want to protect them.” Being mindful, he chooses to keep his relationships out of the spotlight.
Despite their privacy, they occasionally gave fans heartwarming moments. Remember that unforgettable kiss at the 2024 US Open? After Jannik clinched the title by defeating Taylor Fritz in the finals, he surprised everyone by heading straight to Anna for a sweet celebration. Fans went wild over their affectionate display. Later, the couple also enjoyed a romantic beach holiday in Italy in July 2024. They were spotted having a lovely lunch at Costa Smeralda in Porto Cervo, soaking up the sun and each other’s company.
However, eyebrows raised when in an interview with Esquire in August, Sinner made some surprising comments. When asked about the impact of his relationship on his performance, the World No. 1 said, “Having a girlfriend is something that either makes you feel good or makes you feel bad. I want it to be something that feels very natural.”
This led to rumors that they were taking a break to better understand their relationship, especially since neither was following the other on Instagram—a pretty unusual move.
Later Kalinskaya opted for a vacation in Miami instead of supporting Sinner at the ATP Finals in Turin. While it’s not uncommon for players to have separate commitments, their social media activity and no public appearances together since October fueled speculations, and fans are left wondering what was really going on between this tennis power couple.
