Jannik Sinner's new relationship sparks attention in Italy
Jannik Sinner and his new girlfriend, Laila Hasanovic, have been drawing significant attention in Italy amid engagement rumours. In Italy, everything Sinner does becomes headline news, and his public appearance with Hasanovic following his ATP Finals victory over Carlos Alcaraz has become a major talking point.
Sinner’s straight-sets win against his rival Alcaraz was watched by millions on TV, as fans joined a sell-out crowd to cheer the national hero as he closed a standout year. Despite finishing the year ranked No. 2 behind Alcaraz, Sinner can look back on a successful 2025 that featured Grand Slam wins at the Australian Open and his first Wimbledon title. The year also included a three-month doping ban, an incident that many Italian tennis fans view as unfounded and which appears to have strengthened their support for him.
In the eyes of Italian tennis fans, Sinner was a victim in a case that did not merit any suspension, and this incident seems to have deepened the bond between him and his compatriots.
Sinner’s rising star status continued as he began his ATP Finals title defence with Hasanovic drawing attention as the new partner in his life. The question of who is the new woman in his life has become a common topic among fans.
Overall, Sinner’s prominence grew this year, and his relationship with Danish model Hasanovic has attracted substantial media attention.
