Jannik Sinner and his fiancée Anna Kalinskaya were spotted out on the town, likely extending the festivities following the Italian’s victory at the 2024 US Open. The duo flaunted their gorgeous attire as they posed for a photo together.

Sinner just won his second Grand Slam championship in the US Open final, defeating home favourite Taylor Fritz 6-3, 6-4, 7-5. Kalinskaya, who was eliminated from the Major in the third round, stayed to encourage the 23-year-old, cheering him on from the players’ box during the title match.

Sinner and the women’s champion Aryna Sabalenka opted to celebrate their maiden US Open title with their significant others. While Sabalenka has jetted off to Switzerland with her boyfriend Georgios Frangulis, the World No. 1 chose to experience the nightlife in the Big Apple with Kalinskaya.

Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya were all smiles as they were captured sharing a warm embrace during a night out. While the Italian donned a chic all-white ensemble, Kalinskaya stood out in a sequined black skirt paired with a white shirt and a yellow crossbody bag for a pop of color.

Anna Kalinskaya made a rare comment regarding her relationship with Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner, stating that she felt no pressure to equal Sinner’s Grand Slam success. The tennis power couple declared in May of last year that they had begun dating, but had kept their relationship private.

Kalinskaya had been spotted in Sinner’s box at some of his matches. The Italian said at last year’s French Open: “Yes, I’m with Anna, but we keep everything very confidential. I won’t say more.”

Sinner in particular is known to keep a close guard on his private life. However, fans have been desperate for an update on how his relationship with Kalinskaya has developed.

The WTA star has now provided a rare, albeit brief, insight. She was asked whether Sinner’s victory in Melbourne heaped pressure on her to also win major championships.

However, Kalinskaya responded: “Absolutely no pressure, it doesn’t change anything for me.”

Sinner defeated Alexander Zverev in straight sets to successfully defend his Australian Open crown. A routine display saw him overcome the German 6-3 7-6 6-3 in Melbourne.

“It means so much to me,” Sinner said afterwards. “It’s a lot of work we we put behind this one. It means a lot to have this one now two times with me, and the support has been amazing from the start of the tournament.

“The crowd has been amazing from the beginning of the of the tournament, honestly. Also the week of preparation, I got a lot of support. That’s maybe what means the most to me.”

The 23-year-old has withdrawn from the Rotterdam Open to give his body extra time to recover from a gruelling trip around Australia. Sinner had been due to defend his title in the Netherlands but will now skip the event.

In a statement, Sinner said: “After consulting with my team we had to take the difficult decision to withdraw from the ABN AMRO Open. My body needs time to rest after the long run in Australia.

“I have great memories from winning the title in front of amazing crowds at Rotterdam Ahoy last year and hope to be back there soon.”

Tournament director Richard Krajicek has said it is a “great shame” that Sinner will not attend. He remarked: “The Australian Open has been long and tough for Jannik. It is a great shame for both him and us that his efforts are preventing him from participating in Rotterdam.”
