Anna Kalinskaya, the Russian tennis star who is the ex-girlfriend of world No. 2 Jannik Sinner, called out another male tennis star for sliding into her DMs “10 times” asking for a date. The culprit? World No. 11 Holger Rune of Denmark, she says.

Jannik Sinner's mom Siglinde Sinner has become a fan-favorite at his top matches due to her emotional reactions in the stands. The mom doesn't hide her feelings when her son is on the court, an emotional response deemed "relatable" in a Reddit thread.

Through it all he’s had the support of his family, including his parents, Johann and Siglinde. Jannik also has one sibling: an older brother named Mark. He was born in Russia in 1998, and was adopted by Jannik’s parents at nine months old, two years before Jannik was born in 2001.

Analyzing the final, Petkovic viewed Jannik's mindset as a sign of maturity and opportunity. The German sees the Italian's defeat not as a setback but rather the spark that will make him extend his already impressive arsenal and become even more dangerous.

The many mysteries of modern tennis include the recent underperformance of Holger Rune – the talented Dane who beat Novak Djokovic in the Paris Masters final when only 19, but who has struggled to back this result up.

In particular, there is a shot that 'betrayed' Jannik during the final staged last Sunday. The serve never helped Sinner in decisive moments and often forced him to play under pressure, allowing the six-time Grand Slam champion to make several breaks and be aggressive on the second serve.

He joined Rafael Nadal, Boris Becker and Novak Djokovic on the exclusive list, moving far in front of Roger Federer! Rafa tops the charts after securing his 20th US Open win in 2009 at 23 years and three months.

With the US Open now concluded, the ATP season moves into its final stretch, featuring the Asian tour before returning to Europe for the indoor tournaments, the ATP Finals, and the Davis Cup.
