Jannik Sinner recently spent time with his girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya’s brother, Nikolay Kalinskiy, during his preseason training in Dubai. The World No. 1 also took photos with Kalinskiy and his two children. Sinner, who is based in Monte-Carlo, chose Dubai as his training hub ahead of the 2025 season. The Italian had a historic 2024 campaign, winning his first two Grand Slam titles at the Australian Open and the US Open. In June, he ascended to the No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings, a position he has solidified since.
Sinner’s impressive season included three Masters 1000 titles in Miami, Cincinnati, and Shanghai, as well as two ATP 500 titles in Rotterdam and Halle. He ended the year with his first ATP Finals and year-end No. 1 titles, while also leading Italy to a second consecutive Davis Cup victory.
After the season, Sinner made a brief visit to Miami to be with Kalinskaya for her birthday on December 2. He attended the 2024 SuperTennis Awards in Milan on December 4, before heading to the UAE, with the Abu Dhabi GP as his first stop. He has since been training in Dubai alongside players like Grigor Dimitrov, Karen Khachanov, and Alexandre Muller.
During his time in Dubai, Sinner also spent time with Kalinskaya’s brother, Nikolay, who plays football for FC Pari Nizhny Novgorod. In an Instagram post, Nikolay shared a picture of himself gifting Sinner a football jersey. This gesture followed a special moment earlier in the year, when Sinner, after his US Open victory, gave Nikolay a signed Steph Curry jersey. Kalinskiy thanked Sinner and Kalinskaya for the thoughtful gift on social media.
As Sinner prepares to defend his Australian Open title in 2025, Kalinskaya is set to start her season at the Brisbane Interna
tional.
