Holger Rune Dismisses Dating Rumors After Russian WTA Pro’s Shocking Allegations
Anna Kalinskaya disclosed that Holger Rune sent her ten romantic messages before she declined, highlighting the challenges of dating within the professional tennis circuit, she said.
- On September 9 in New York, Anna Kalinskaya said Holger Rune messaged her "like 10 times and then gave up," revealing his repeated outreach before she rejected him.
- Her candid US Open interview came amid renewed media interest following Kalinskaya's high-profile 2024 romance with Jannik Sinner that ended earlier this year.
- Rune replied on X, calling it a misunderstanding and citing cultural differences, while Veronika Kudermetova and others reported similar messages from him.
- The revelations risk harming Holger Rune’s off-court image as observers warned the anecdotes could dent his professional tennis public image and branding, while fans and commentators largely welcomed Anna Kalinskaya’s frankness, treating the exchange as humorous rather than a serious scandal.
- The episode highlights broader boundary questions on tour as Kalinskaya's remarks spotlight social dynamics and branding considerations in the professional tennis community's off-court culture at tournaments.
