Anna Kalinskaya unveils the problem: and comes another bad news

Very unlucky start of 2025 for Anna Kalinskaya, who after difficulties in Brisbane and Adelaide had to withdraw shortly before her Australian Open opener against Kimberly Birrell. From the Russian tennis player’s entourage at first nothing è leaked, then on social media the Muscovite è made herself heard, revealing the reason for the forfeit.

"It was very sad and frustrating to withdraw from the Australian Open – she wrote on Instagram -. I really wanted to but I caught a virus. Goodbye comes first". Certainly there's frustration for Anna Kalinskaya, who had also experienced physical problems in Adelaide, where she was forced to withdraw during her match against Belinda Bencic. For the Russian also problems with the WTA ranking: the girlfriend of Jannik Sinner had to defend the quarterfinals she won last season in Melbourne.

The 0 points in the first Grand Slam tournament will weigh heavily on her ranking: the Russian will lose 430 points and could slip out of the Top 20 at the end of the Australian Open.

In addition to that, no sign has come either regarding the relationship with Jannik Sinner: Anna s fans hope that this unexpected dark period will pass quickly.
