The relationship between Jannik Sinner and Danish model Laila Hasanovic has become one of the most talked-about storylines in tennis off the court this season, and for good reason. What began as subtle clues and quiet sightings gradually blossomed into one of the most heartwarming romances on the ATP Tour.
Speculation first began earlier this year when Sinner was photographed in Copenhagen alongside a woman who bore a strong resemblance to Hasanovic. At the time, the Italian described his trip to Denmark as work-related, yet fans noticed the increasing number of times the Danish model appeared in his orbit. By the time she was spotted at the French Open and Wimbledon, the tennis world was convinced that something meaningful was developing between the two.
Below is a closer look at the most wholesome moments between Sinner and Hasanovic that captured fans’ attention throughout the season.
1) Jannik Sinner Fuels Speculation With a Lockscreen of Laila Hasanovic
The earliest indication that Sinner had quietly welcomed someone special into his life came at the US Open, where he admitted during a press conference that he was “in love,” although he declined to elaborate further.
The turning point arrived during his third-round win over Denis Shapovalov. Cameras captured Sinner checking his phone in the cooldown area, and fans immediately noticed that his lockscreen image appeared to match Hasanovic’s July Armani Beauty campaign photo. The New York Post noted the striking resemblance between the picture and her promotional shot, sparking a social media frenzy.
More signs appeared as the tournament progressed. A photograph went viral showing Hasanovic in the stands during Sinner’s semifinal match against Felix Auger-Aliassime. Her presence only reinforced the belief that the pair had been quietly supporting one another long before the relationship became public.
2) The Couple’s Gelato Dates in Monaco
Italian outlet Dipiù later quoted Nicoletta Stampfl, co-owner of Santo Gelato in the La Condamine neighborhood of Monte Carlo, who revealed that the couple had been seen together near their residence. She commented that Sinner and Hasanovic lived in the same area and praised the Danish model’s warm personality, noting that her kindness mirrored Sinner’s own demeanor.
3) Hasanovic Meets Sinner’s Parents
Hasanovic was pictured with Sinner’s mother and father for the first time during his victorious campaign at the Vienna Open. She was seated beside his parents, Hanspeter and Siglinde, during his matches.
4) Sinner Confirms the Relationship During His Victorious Vienna Open Run
The speculation finally came to an end in Vienna, where Sinner effectively confirmed the relationship while competing at the Vienna Open.
Following his tournament victory, Sinner thanked both his family and his girlfriend during his on-court speech, publicly acknowledging Hasanovic for the first time. Their interactions throughout the week, including her appearance at his semifinal match, reflected a supportive and grounded partnership.
5) Hasanovic’s Pet Steals the Show at the ATP Finals in Turin
Hasanovic also accompanied Sinner throughout his ATP Finals campaign in Turin. The Italian successfully defended his title with a commanding win over world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in a closely fought final.
Moments after Sinner sealed the championship point, Hasanovic rushed down from the stands to embrace him. The couple later posed for photos together, joined by her pet dog, offering fans a heartwarming glimpse of their off-court bond during one of Sinner’s career’s biggest triumphs.
6) Sinner and Hasanovic Turn Heads in All Black as They Arrive at the Abu Dhabi GP
With the season concluded, Sinner enjoyed some well-earned downtime with Hasanovic. The couple drew attention again when they arrived in Abu Dhabi for the final Formula One Grand Prix of the year, dressed in coordinated all-black outfits. Their entrance was captured in an Instagram video, giving fans a rare look at Sinner enjoying himself away from the tennis spotlight.
Before attending the race, Sinner and Hasanovic spent several days relaxing in the Maldives during the early offseason. They were later seen in the United Arab Emirates, attending a dinner outing in Dubai alongside Sinner’s coach Simone Vagnozzi. Videos shared online showed the Italian smiling and chatting casually throughout the evening, enjoying a calm moment with his inner circle.
