In a shocking revelation that has turned heads in the tennis world, Anna Kalinskaya has come forward with her own experience regarding Holger Rune, the Danish rising star. Just weeks after fellow player Veronika Kudermetova shared her light-hearted interactions with Rune on Elena Vesnina’s podcast, Kalinskaya didn’t hold back, offering a more scathing perspective on the young athlete’s behavior.
Kalinskaya, known for her previous relationship with Italian player Jannik Sinner, disclosed that Rune had bombarded her with messages, sending at least ten before ultimately giving up. Her candid remarks during a podcast with Anna Chakvetadze on First&Red have sparked a flurry of reactions. “Before, I used to get more invitations to go out, maybe because I was younger. But there’s one guy who wrote to me ten times before he stopped. If I mention this, they might cut the video,” she revealed, emphasizing Rune’s persistence.
The Russian player didn’t shy away from expressing her strong feelings about Rune’s approach. “He’s sending messages to everyone, it seems. I get the impression that he thinks too highly of himself… or perhaps he’s just a bit desperate. But I must say, he’s not the only one acting this way,” she added, leaving listeners wondering if her comments were a dig at Rune’s confidence—or a broader commentary on the dating antics within the sport.
Kalinskaya’s remarks have ignited a debate among fans and analysts alike, with many questioning the implications of such behavior from a young athlete striving for success on the ATP Tour. Rune’s reputation for being bold and brash may have just taken a hit, as these behind-the-scenes glimpses into his personal interactions reveal a side of the player that fans rarely see.
As the tennis community digests this juicy exchange, one thing is clear: the world of professional tennis is as much about off-court drama as it is about the matches themselves. With players like Kalinskaya willing to share their stories, the spotlight on Rune’s character is bound to intensify, leaving fans eager for more revelations about the lives of their favorite stars beyond the baseline.
