In a recent interview with Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera, Sinner acknowledged being “in love” but declined to reveal his partner’s identity. When pressed about having a girlfriend, he confirmed, “Yes, but we don’t talk about our private life.”
Additional confirmation came from an unexpected source: ice cream shop owners in Monte Carlo. Roberto and Nicoletta Stampfl, who own the Santo Gelato shop, have observed the couple together on multiple occasions. Nicoletta said, “I really like Laila; she’s kind, just like Jannik. She’s beautiful, very simple in the way she carries herself and dresses. In short, she’s a very natural girl. They speak English to each other.” She added, “And they sat outside the shop for quite some time.”
What Makes This Sinner vs. Alcaraz Final So Special?
The championship match between Sinner and Alcaraz represents their third Grand Slam final meeting of 2025, creating a compelling rivalry between the world’s top two players. Alcaraz claimed victory in their French Open encounter. At the same time, Sinner earned revenge at Wimbledon, setting up this decisive US Open showdown.
Sinner enters the final with incredible momentum, winning 27 consecutive matches on hard courts at major tournaments and posting a remarkable 26-1 record at Grand Slams throughout 2025. The Italian star aims to join an exclusive club by becoming the first man since Roger Federer to successfully defend his US Open title, matching Federer’s dominant run from 2004 to 2008 at Flushing Meadows.
