In the final he, in the final she. It happens in Germany, where Jannik Sinner will play tomorrow for the title of the ATP 500 in Halle, against the Polish Hubert Hurkacz (his usual doubles partner), while his girlfriend, the 25-year-old Russian Anna Kalinskaya, will compete in the final act of the grass tournament in Berlin.
“Is Jannik also in the final? I’m trying to be as good as him. This is a fantastic year, and I usually try to watch his matches, but today it just wasn’t possible.
Congratulations to him, we’ll see if tomorrow we can follow each other, in the meantime I’ll send him a message straight away: I’m very happy.”
So Sinner and Kalinskaya could repeat what the Australian Alex De Minaur and his British girlfriend Katie Boulter did last week: a double victory, and as a couple, obtained by him in Hertogenbosch and by her in Nottingham.
A victory in the same weekend for engaged tennis players also occurred 50 years ago, in the most prestigious tournament, Wimbledon.
Jimmy Connors won the men’s singles title, Chris Evert the women’s singles title.
