Love and tennis seem to be entwined in a complicated dance for Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner and his girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya. While their romantic adventures in the crystal-clear waters of Sardinia have been picture-perfect, their return to the court is facing some hurdles.
It all started a few weeks ago when both Sinner and Kalinskaya had to bid farewell to Wimbledon due to physical issues. Sinner experienced a slight fainting spell during his match against Daniil Medvedev, which led to his defeat. On the other hand, Kalinskaya encountered a wrist problem that forced her to withdraw from the tournament.
After a brief respite in Costa Smeralda, Sinner intended to participate in the Paris Olympics, only to be sidelined by tonsillitis. Similarly, Kalinskaya was set to grace the WTA event in Washington but had to pull out due to ongoing injury concerns.
Expressing her disappointment, Kalinskaya shared on social media, “I’ve not yet recovered from my injury and hope to return soon.” The 25-year-old is taking some time to recuperate and regain her fitness levels before stepping back onto the court.
As for Sinner, he is gearing up to resume training on hard courts after overcoming his Olympic setback and battling tonsillitis. The upcoming season holds a slew of challenges for the young tennis star, with multiple tournaments ahead where he needs to defend valuable ranking points.
One of the key events on Sinner’s radar is the Canada Open, where he will aim to replicate his previous success. Last season, this tournament marked the beginning of his winning streak, with a total of 7 titles claimed in less than a year. Following Canada, Sinner will be eyeing Montreal (formerly Toronto) and Cincinnati before heading to the prestigious US Open.
With an array of tournaments lined up, Sinner is poised to showcase his prowess on the court and make a triumphant return to the winner’s circle. Despite the setbacks faced by the tennis couple, their passion for the game and each other is palpable, hinting at a bright future ahead.
