Kalinskaya Alleges Repeated Messages From Holger Rune

The top-10 ATP player called the claim a cultural misunderstanding in a post on X.

Overview

  • Anna Kalinskaya told Anna Chakvetadze that Holger Rune messaged her about ten times on social media and that she did not reply.
  • Kalinskaya identified Rune by name in the interview and said he "writes to everyone" and "thinks too much of himself."
  • Rune responded publicly on X, saying her reading of a comment as an invitation was a cultural misunderstanding and that he would ask directly if he wanted a date.
  • Veronika Kudermetova previously recounted that Rune contacted her despite her marriage, adding a separate example reported earlier this summer.
  • No formal complaints or ATP/WTA actions have been announced, with the story arising from player interviews and social media posts amplified by tennis outlets.
