"Worse than Paula Badosa Stefanos Tsitsipas"; "Wasn't he sick?"- Fans tease Jannik Sinner and girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya about their Sardinia vacation
Several fans teased Jannik Sinner and his girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya after getting a glimpse of their recent vacation in Italy. The duo is currently away from action and was spotted enjoying a getaway in Italy's Costa Smeralda.
Sinner and Kalinskaya last competed at Wimbledon 2024. The former showed impressive form, advancing to the quarterfinals before losing to Daniil Medvedev 6-7(7), 6-4, 7-6(4), 2-6, 6-3 in a grueling match. Meanwhile, Kalinskaya reached the fourth round but had to withdraw midway against 2022 Wimbledon Champion Elena Rybakina due to a wrist injury.
The duo is currently preparing for the forthcoming Olympic games. However, they took time off to chill on the beaches of Sardinia. An Italian weekly magazine Chi shared a glimpse of their getaway on July 17. Moreover, a fan on X highlighted those pictures on X ( formerly Twitter) and wrote:
"Paparazed for the 1st time."
The pictures later caught the attention of fans who cheekily teased the couple for their vacation in Italy. One fan compared their relationship to that of Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas, writing:
"this is worse than paula and stefanos 😭😭😭😭😭."
Jannik Sinner had previously stated that he experienced dizziness on the court while facing Medvedev. Additionally, he was checked by a doctor during the match. One fan recalled that incident and wrote:
"wasn’t he supposed to be sick? or was that another of one his excuses to save himself from the embarrassment after getting paraded around as the overwhelming favorite? anyway love their extremely “private” relationship."
"wimbledon is over jannik u can change ur outfit," yet another chimed in.
Here are a few more reactions from fans:
"Explain to me why our boy has that hat please," a fan asked.
"jannik still in his wimbledon whites because he went straight from london ijbol," one fan commented.
"Jannik wearing that hat thinking we can’t see him," another said.
Jannik Sinner confirmed relationship with Anna Kalinskaya back in May
Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya were frequently spotted cheering for each other during their matches before their relationship was official. Moreover, they even practiced together before the clay court slam. However, those rumors lacked validation until Sinner confirmed it earlier in May.
Speaking at the press conference following his first-round win at the 2024 French Open, the Italian confirmed they were dating but chose not to disclose any further details.
"I'm with Anna [Kalinskaya], yes, but we keep everything very confidential, you know my confidentiality... I won't say more," Jannik Sinner said (via Italian news agency ANSA)."
Following this, the 22-year-old was also spotted rooting for the Russian during her first-round match at the French Open.
