Jannik Sinner was present in the stands to support his girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya during her first-round match at Wimbledon against Panna Udvardy. The couple was all smiles as the Russian got the better of her opponent to advance into the second round.

Sinner and Kalinskaya have been together for months. In May, the Italian confirmed his relationship with the Russian. He refused to give further details, albeit, citing the fact that he wanted to keep his private life away from the public.

During the 2024 French Open, they were regularly spotted supporting each other from the stands. The pair expressed their support for each other when they both reached their first finals on the grass court. Kalinskaya reached the finals of the Ecotrans Ladies Open in Berlin while Sinner reached the final in Halle.

At Wimbledon, the pair was recently spotted laughing during practice. On July 2, 17th-seed Kalinskaya commenced her Wimbledon campaign against Hungarian player Udvardy. The Russian picked up a comfortable 6-3, 6-2 win in the presence of her boyfriend.

Wimbledon's official X (formerly Twitter) account posted a video of Sinner being in the stands cheering on Kalinskaya and captioned it:

"Anna Kalinskaya's No. 1 fan watches on. "

Meanwhile, the World No. 1 also advanced to the second round at Wimbledon after getting the better of Yannick Hanfmann with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. Kalinskaya was also in the stands for the match on July 1, supporting her boyfriend.
