Anna Kalinskaya, painful retreat under the eyes of Jannik Sinner

Anna Kalinskaya out

It's ended in the worst way Anna Kalinskaya's so far more than positive adventure in the Wimbledon tournament. The fiancée of Jannik Sinner (who was present in the stands without now even hiding too much) in fact withdrew during the round of 16 against Elena Rybakina.

And to say that the day had not even started badly for the Russian, who had taken a 3-1 lead in the first set against the highly favored Kazakh player, who then overturned the result, also taking advantage of a first medical time-out asked by her opponent.

The problem with a nerve in her right arm did not è però resolve itself as the games went on and indeed became unbearable, all while Rybakina won five games in a row, winning the first partial on a comeback.

In the second set, Kalinskaya suffered two more breaks in a row until she decided to raise the white flag, under the sad and worried gaze of Jannik Sinner himself: no quarterfinals (a goal instead achieved yesterday by the South Tyrolean, world number one).
