Jannik Sinner’s former girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya has kicked off a public storm after outing a top 10 ranked tennis star for flooding her DMs.
Kalinskaya is a tennis star in her own right, currently ranked 32nd in the world.
The Russian dated Sinner over a year ago, with the couple sharing a public kiss after the Italian claimed the US Open title.
Ultimately, the relationship failed to last, with the pair breaking things off just a few short months later.
As it turns out, Sinner was not the only ATP star who took a fancy to the 26-year-old.

During an interview with the First&Red channel, the Russian revealed that a few male players have persistently showed up in her inbox.
One of those men was current world number 11 – and formerly number five – Holger Rune.
“Someone wrote like 10 times and then gave up,” she said.
“I’ll say who it is now, Holger Rune. He writes to everyone. He thinks too much of himself.
“Maybe heās just desperate, but he’s not the only one.”
Rune responds on X
Kalinskaya’s comments did not go unnoticed. In fact, Rune was quick to set the record straight on social media.
The 22-year-old wrote: “Ha ha ha. We might have cultural differences that make Anna read a comment on a story as an invitation to a date.
“If I want to go for a date, I ask for a date. Don’t worry.”
Rune is not the first ATP star to have a public beef with Kalinskaya.
The Russian previously dated Nick Kyrgios in 2020, with the pair often seen supporting each other during matches. They even attended an NBA game as a couple.
Nevertheless, the relationship eventually broke down, with Kalinskaya going on to describe the Australian as a ‘bad person’.
Speaking on Instagram Live, she said: “You are not a bad boy, you are simply a bad person.”
