The beautiful Russian tennis star Anna Kalinskaya sparked widespread controversy with provocative and sarcastic statements towards the world number eleven, Danish Holger Rune, accusing him of messaging all the players with an unbearable level of overconfidence!
During an interview on the "First and Red" channel on the "YouTube" platform, Kalinskaya fired shots at Rune without mentioning his name directly at first, saying:
"In the past, many tennis players used to send me messages. Now, I've grown a little, and I feel that some have no chance. They don't need to write. But one person wrote to me about ten times and then gave up. And I will say now who it is... It's Holger Rune! He messages everyone! He is overly confident, but he is not the only one; there are more!".
Kalinskaya, known for her beauty and strong presence both on and off the tennis courts, was previously romantically linked to Australian star Nick Kyrgios, with their relationship starting at the beginning of her professional career and ending in mid-2020.
She was also seen with Italian star Jannik Sinner in the spring of 2024, and they officially announced their relationship during the Roland Garros (French Open) last year, before confirming their breakup later in 2025.
For his part, Rune did not delay in responding, and his response was sarcastic during one of the interviews where he said laughing:
"Maybe there are cultural differences that make Anna interpret a comment on a public post as an invitation for a date! If I wanted to go out on a date, I would ask for a date. Don't worry!".
This exciting exchange between Kalinskaya and Rune added a dramatic flavor to the world of tennis and ignited social media with varying comments between sarcastic and supportive.
