Anna Kalinskaya, the rising Russian tennis star, was spotted in Beijing today, showing her support for Jannik Sinner during his highly anticipated China Open final against world No. 2, Carlos Alcaraz. Kalinskaya, who has been seen cheering Sinner on at several tournaments, took to the stands again, donning a confident smile as her fellow tennis professional faced one of the toughest competitors on tour.
Sinner, currently ranked No. 4 in the world, reached the China Open final after defeating Daniil Medvedev in the semifinals. His performance has been stellar throughout the tournament, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown with the young Spaniard Alcaraz, who has already claimed the top spot in the rankings this year. The match is expected to be an intense battle of skills and endurance, with both players having a lot at stake.
Kalinskaya’s presence adds a personal touch to the event. The Russian star herself has had a challenging tournament, losing 7-5, 6-0 to Yuliya Starodubtseva in a closely contested first set before falling apart in the second. Her early exit, however, hasn’t dampened her spirits as she throws her support behind Sinner in his quest for the China Open title.
Kalinskaya’s bond with Sinner has become a popular talking point among tennis fans. Though they are yet to confirm any relationship publicly, the two share mutual respect and often praise each other’s game. Kalinskaya, 24, continues to grow her presence on the WTA tour while balancing her support for fellow athletes like Sinner.
With Kalinskaya in his corner, Sinner will hope to clinch victory against Alcaraz, solidifying his place among the top players in the world.
