Jannik Sinner & Laila Hasanovic: Tennis’s New Power Couple Steals the Spotlight
There’s plenty of heat on the court at this year’s US Open—and a surprising amount of buzz courtside too. Top-ranked Italian player Jannik Sinner has fans and social media sleuths in a frenzy over his rumored romance with Danish model and influencer Laila Hasanovic.
Whether you’re a tennis nut, a sucker for gossip, or you just love a love story, their low-key, globe-trotting relationship is attracting nearly as much attention as Sinner’s serve.
Who is Jannik Sinner's Girlfriend?
Let’s get honest: Jannik Sinner’s forehand isn’t the only thing the paparazzi are chasing these days. The Italian world No. 1 has confirmed he’s in love — but if you’re hoping for tabloid-style confessions, forget it.
In classic Sinner fashion, when pressed by Corriere Della Sera, he simply replied, “Yes, but we don’t talk about our private life.” And that’s where the BB energy ends and the tennis fan sleuthing begins.
Ever since Sinner ditched his racquet for a quick look at his phone post-victory, social media went wild. Fans zoomed in and—yup—caught a glimpse of Danish model Laila Hasanovic gracing his lock screen.
It wasn’t just one blurry photo, either; a second image from the semis caught the same lock screen. Add to that Laila cheering loudly from his players’ box, standing out amid the usual stoic faces, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a tennis-world romance rumor.
And outside Arthur Ashe, locals in Monte Carlo have their own stories. The couple’s been spotted sipping gelato at Santo Gelato, with the owners happily confirming, “Laila is kind, just like Jannik—lovely and low-key.”
So, while Sinner’s camp (and Laila’s, for that matter) keeps their lips zipped, everyone from grandmothers in Monaco to TikTok teens seems convinced: romance confirmed.
Of course, no sports love story is complete without a bit of competitor intrigue. Brooks Nader, the American model, made the rumor mill spin by admitting on Jimmy Kimmel she got DMs from a tennis star “whose name rhymes with winner.”
Drama? Yes. Real spark? Probably not—as she slyly flirted with the idea Alcaraz might be the guy. Meanwhile, Sinner sticks with his old-school privacy, letting the world speculate as Laila pops up courtside.

So—who is the woman at the center of Sinner’s “is it, isn’t it?” romance? Laila Hasanovic is a Danish model and influencer, just 24 years old and a finalist in Miss Universe Denmark.
She’s graced campaigns for Prada Beauty and Armani, clocking over 383k fans on Instagram (which, let’s face it, is more than most ATP tour stops see in a season).
Monaco neighbors describe her as “simple, down-to-earth”—more interested in gelato flavors than photo ops. If anything, her vibe matches Sinner’s low-key persona; they’ve been spotted hanging on terraces, grabbing ice cream, and dodging autograph seekers.
Laila used to date F1 star Mick Schumacher until their split last year, which, if you like sports dynasties, just adds another layer of intrigue.
But unlike the models just working their brand, Laila actually cheers. Fans caught her at Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and especially the US Open, always in the right seat, always in Jannik’s orbit. Sometimes she’s just off camera—sometimes the camera finds her before it finds the ball.

For a minute, there was the theory that Brooks Nader was the mystery flame. The Kimmel interview was cheeky, the sideline presence suspicious, but Brooks herself redirected suspicion with a wink.
That leaves Sinner—unless he’s pulling off the kind of low-key triangulation only top athletes manage, which seems unlikely—to be pretty transparently linked to Laila. Even gelato shopkeepers tell reporters, “He always brings her here. They’re lovely together.”
Forget the rigid fact tables and encyclopedic lists. This is about the tennis gossip swirl and the tiny moments—a lock screen, a cheer, a shared dessert—that fans hold onto as proof a star athlete is as human as the rest of us.
So is Jannik Sinner’s girlfriend Laila Hasanovic? At this point, you could say it’s as official as anything outside a press release: she’s at the matches, she’s in the stories, and she’s very likely the person Jannik’s double-checking his phone for between sets.
