Novak Djokovic Raises Eyebrows by Still Following ‘Good Friend’ Nick Kyrgios’ Ex-Girlfriend Who Insulted Him Publicly

Tennis players Anna Kalinskaya and Nick Kyrgios were once a couple. The duo have been spotted together watching an NBA game and also on other public occasions. However, Kalinskaya made it clear in 2020 that they not only have broken up, but they are also not friends. Interestingly, Novak Djokovic is still following Anna Kalinskaya on Instagram, and he is a good friend of Nick Kyrgios.

Anna Kalinskaya and Nick Kyrgios dated nearly for one year before both of them went their separate ways. As a very private person, Kalinskaya never really spoke much about it and neither did Kyrgios. Now, Kyrgios is dating social media influencer Costeen Hatzi and as per some reports, Kalinskaya’s boyfriend is a German tennis player called Sami Reinwein. This is despite the fact that Anna Kalinskaya is said to be still living in Moscow, Russia.

On the other hand, Novak Djokovic is a good friend of Nick Kyrgios. Kyrgios even invited Djokovic to be a part of his ‘Good Trouble With Nick Kyrgios’ podcast. Therefore, when it’s discovered that Djokovic follows Kalinskaya, Kyrgios’ ex-girlfriend, it raises doubt as to whether it’s an awkward situation or not. But it’s all speculation for now.
