Sinner confirms relationship with Laila Hasanovic at Vienna Open

Jannik Sinner publicly confirmed he is in a relationship with Danish model Laila Hasanovic after claiming victory at the Vienna Open on Oct. 26, thanking her by name during his on-court speech as she watched from the player box alongside his parents. The 24-year-old Italian acknowledged "my family, my girlfriend, my friends" while addressing the crowd and television audience, and cameras cut to Hasanovic smiling in the stands.

Sinner's acknowledgement followed months of public speculation about his personal life. Hasanovic, also 24, has been seen in Sinner's player box at major tournaments this year and was reportedly visible on his phone wallpaper during the U.S. Open, details that fueled dating rumors. Sinner has kept his private life largely out of the spotlight; he previously had a public relationship with fellow tennis player Anna Kalinskaya and said he was single earlier this year before the recent sightings.

Hasanovic has been linked in the past to other high-profile athletes. Several accounts indicate she dated former Formula 1 driver Mick Schumacher for roughly three years before that relationship ended this spring. Owners of an ice cream shop near Sinner's Monte Carlo...
