In the world of tennis, love is definitely in the air as more and more players are finding romance on the court. While some, like Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya, prefer to keep their relationships private, others, like Anastasia Potapova, are more open about their love lives.

Potapova, who is married to fellow tennis player Alexander Shevchenko, recently spoke out about the prevalence of tennis couples in the sport. “Where else can girls meet a guy? I don’t have time to go for walks and all the tennis players are constantly working on the Tour,” she explained in a recent interview. “There is no other choice left, tennis men and women see each other and know each other.”

One of the newest couples to emerge in the tennis world is Sinner and Kalinskaya. According to Russian tennis player Erika Andreeva, the two were spotted walking a dog together in Madrid, leading to speculation about their relationship. Sinner eventually confirmed their romance, revealing that he met Kalinskaya in 2024 and had nothing but nice words to say about her.

While Sinner and Kalinskaya’s relationship may have come as a surprise to many, they are just one of several tennis couples making headlines. From Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa to Alex De Minaur and Katie Boulter, love is definitely in the air on the tennis court. And while some may question the impact of these relationships on players’ performances, one thing is for sure – love is definitely a game-changer in the world of tennis.
