Jannik Sinner and his girlfriend Laila Hasanovic’s photos from their first-ever skiing date together surfaced online and captured fans’ attention. The images, taken during a Christmas Eve getaway in northern Italy, showed the tennis star and the Danish model enjoying the slopes, but it was one subtle, heartfelt detail that truly resonated.
In several shots, Sinner could be seen carrying Hasanovic’s skis over his shoulder as they made their way up the mountain..

Before tennis became his calling, the Italian grew up surrounded by mountains and snow in Sexten, where his parents worked near a ski lodge. Skiing was his first sporting passion, one that shaped his early athletic identity long before he picked up a racket.
That history added depth to what might otherwise have been a simple vacation snapshot. Sinner began skiing at the age of three and quickly showed promise, winning a giant slalom title at seven and later finishing as a national runner-up by age 11.
How Did Sinner and Hasanovic’s Relationship Become Public?
The Danish model is no stranger to winter sports herself and has previously posted throwback photos of skiing and snowboarding, once writing that she was eagerly awaiting the return of the snowy season. The images also arrived amid months of intense speculation about their relationship, which gradually evolved from speculation to confirmation.

From early sightings in Copenhagen last year to Hasanovic’s regular presence at major tournaments, including the French Open and Wimbledon, the clues continued to stack up. During the US Open, Sinner fueled the conversation further when he admitted he was “in love,” and eagle-eyed fans later spotted what appeared to be Hasanovic as his phone wallpaper after a win over Denis Shapovalov.
Italian magazine Dipiù later reported sightings of the pair together in Monte Carlo, adding to the growing body of evidence. The moment became official in Vienna when Hasanovic sat with Sinner’s parents during his title run, followed by Sinner publicly thanking his girlfriend during the trophy ceremony.
Good for them…Health and Happiness to each!!
