The tennis world is abuzz with speculation about a new power couple, as Italian superstar Jannik Sinner and Russia's Anna Kalinskaya appear to be more than just practice partners. The pair have been spotted together frequently, sending fans into a frenzy.
The rumours began to solidify during the Australian Open, where both players had a spectacular run. Sinner clinched his maiden Grand Slam title, while Kalinskaya delivered a stunning performance by reaching the quarter-finals, which included a victory over then-world number one Iga Świątek.
Since Melbourne, their connection has become increasingly public. They were photographed enjoying a casual day out at a farmer's market, a far cry from the high-pressure environment of centre court. This was followed by a notably coordinated appearance at the Netflix Slam in Las Vegas, where they were seen sitting together, further fuelling relationship rumours.
From Doubles Partners to Something More?
While they have never been official doubles partners on the professional circuit, their chemistry is undeniable. The tennis community has watched their interactions with keen interest, noting their supportive presence at each other's matches and their easy camaraderie off the court.
The speculation reached a new peak ahead of the Indian Wells tournament. Both Sinner and Kalinskaya were seen practising together on the same court, a session that seemed to blend intense training with light-hearted moments, captured and shared widely across social media platforms.
A Modern Tennis Romance
This potential pairing represents a modern tennis romance, akin to other famous couples like Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi. Both at the top of their games, Sinner's powerful baseline play complements Kalinskaya's aggressive and precise style. Their shared understanding of the tour's immense pressures could be the foundation of a strong bond.
As the tennis season progresses to the clay courts of Europe, all eyes will be on Sinner and Kalinskaya. The question on everyone's lips is whether this whirlwind romance will continue to blossom under the spotlight of the upcoming French Open and Wimbledon.
