Is Jannik Sinner a married man? Not quite, despite what a recent tabloid report might want readers to believe.
On Sunday in Shanghai, the world No. 1 shut down a recent sory in Italian media that he was ready to take the next step with his girlfriend, WTA world No. 13 Anna Kalinskaya, with a funny joke in his post-match press conference.
“It was new also for me, to be honest!” Sinner said with a laugh after coming from a set behind to defeat Tomas Martin Etcheverry and reach the fourth round.
To be clear: He didn’t propose, either.
“No, I didn’t ask, and nothing, nothing happened,” Sinner continued. “I just read the details a little bit that it happened after US Open, but it’s all false, false news. Thank you.”
Kalinskaya had previously addressed the tabloid reports on Sunday via her social media channels, writing on Instagram: “To clarify things about fake rumors, this is not true,” with a rolling-on-the-floor laughing emoji.
