Sinner is currently in his homeland, participating in the year-end Finals in Turin as the defending champion. Drawn into the Björn Borg Group alongside Alexander Zverev, Ben Shelton, and Auger-Aliassime (who replaced Novak Djokovic), Sinner made a strong start to his campaign.
In his opening match, the Italian defeated Auger-Aliassime 7-5, 6-1, extending his winning streak in those conditions to 27 matches. In a clip shared on X following the match, Hasanovic was seen enthusiastically cheering and clapping the Italian from the player’s box.

How Did the Relationship Between Sinner and Hasanovic Unfold?
The relationship between Sinner and Hasanovic has been one of the most talked-about topics in tennis off the court this season. Earlier in the year, speculation began when the Italian was photographed in Copenhagen alongside a mystery woman who closely resembled the Danish model. Hasanovic, a well-known social media personality and fashion model, gained recognition through campaigns with global brands like Armani Beauty.
Sinner initially brushed off questions about his visit to Denmark, insisting it was merely work-related. However, her repeated appearances at major tournaments, including the French Open and Wimbledon, kept the rumor mill turning.
Fans began piecing together subtle clues as the season unfolded. During the US Open, Sinner’s heartfelt admission that he was “in love” sent the tennis world buzzing. Observant fans later noticed what appeared to be Hasanovic’s image as Sinner’s phone wallpaper after his third-round win over Denis Shapovalov. The moment went viral on X, as screenshots of the wallpaper circulated widely among his followers.
Italian magazine Dipiù added more fuel to the story, reporting that the pair were seen together in Monte Carlo, frequenting the local gelato shop Santo Gelato, where co-owner Nicoletta Stampfl confirmed their visits.
The rumors became undeniable in Vienna when Hasanovic was spotted sitting alongside Sinner’s parents, Hanspeter and Siglinde, during his successful Vienna Open run. After clinching the title, Sinner thanked both his family and his girlfriend during his victory speech, effectively confirming their relationship.
Looking ahead, Sinner will take on third seed Alexander Zverev in the second round-robin. This will be their 10th meeting on the ATP Tour, with the Italian holding a slight 5-4 edge in their head-to-head record.
