Rome, Italy – Italian tennis sensation Jannik Sinner has reportedly broken up with his girlfriend, Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya, following a controversy surrounding a comment made by Sinner.

Sinner’s team has yet to release an official statement on the split, but sources confirm that the couple has gone their separate ways.
The controversy surrounding Sinner’s comment has sparked a wider debate about sexism and misogyny in tennis, with many calling for greater respect and support for female players.
“Jannik’s comment was a symptom of a larger problem in tennis,” said tennis analyst and commentator, Mary Carillo. “We need to do better to support and respect our female players.”
As the tennis world continues to grapple with the fallout from Sinner’s comment, fans and critics alike will be watching to see how the young Italian tennis star responds to the controversy and rebuilds his reputation.
In the meantime, Kalinskaya has taken to social media to thank her fans for their support and to confirm that she is focusing on her tennis career.
