Anna Kalinskaya officially joins boyfriend Jannik Sinner as a Nike athlete, debuts new collection at China Open after switching over from Alo

Anna Kalinskaya has officially switched her sponsor from Alo to Nike. The American sportswear company also sponsors her boyfriend Jannik Sinner. Both Sinner and Kalinskaya are currently in Beijing, competing in the 2024 China Open.

Before switching to Nike, Kalinskaya wore Adidas apparel in the early stages of her career and then partnered with Alo. Sinner, on the other hand, has long-standing sponsorship deals with Nike for his apparel and Head for his equipment.

On Friday, pictures of Anna Kalinskaya emerged on X (formerly Twitter), showing her wearing lilac Nike apparel and a Nike half cap as she faced off against Hailey Baptiste in the opening round of the tournament. Kalinskaya won the match 3-6, 7-5(2), 7-6(5).

Anna Kalinskaya and Jannik Sinner began dating in May 2024 and have been seen supporting each other at their matches. When asked about his relationship with Kalinskaya at the French Open, Sinner said:

"You know, I don't like to talk much about my private life, Yes, I'm with Anna, but we keep everything very confidential. I won't say more.”

Both Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya are having the best seasons of their careers. Sinner is set to face Roman Safiullin, while Kalinskaya will take on Peyton Stearns in the second round of the China Open.

Continuing his fine form after clinching his maiden US Open title a few weeks ago, Jannik Sinner is aiming for another trophy as he looks to defend his title at the 2024 China Open.

Sinner began his China Open campaign by defeating Chile's Nicolás Jarry in the first round on Thursday, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. Meanwhile, Roman Safiullin overcame three-time Grand Slam winner Stan Wawrinka to set up the clash. The two have met twice on the ATP Tour, with Sinner winning both encounters.

At last season’s China Open, Jannik Sinner defeated Dan Evans, Yoshihito Nishioka, Grigor Dimitrov, and Carlos Alcaraz, before outclassing Daniil Medvedev in the final to claim the title.

Anna Kalinskaya, meanwhile, is enjoying a career-high WTA ranking of No. 14 and achieved her best Grand Slam results this year, notably reaching the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.

After her first-round win over Hailey Baptiste, Kalinskaya will now face Peyton Stearns in the second round of the tournament. This will be their first meeting on the WTA Tour.
