Jannik Sinner\u2019s Lockscreen Draws Reactions From Fans<\/p>\n
Sinner has long been guarded about his private life, but as the top-ranked player in the world and one of tennis\u2019 most marketable figures, he has had to fend off persistent questions about whether he has a girlfriend. Earlier this year, in May, he was photographed walking through Monte Carlo<\/a> with Russian model Lara Lieto, which led to widespread speculation. He dismissed the rumors<\/a> at a press conference, clarifying that he was not in a relationship.<\/p>\n Just weeks later, the 24-year-old was spotted in Copenhagen, which fueled further questions from the press. At the French Open, Sinner was quizzed about his time in the Danish capital with \u201ca girl\u201d who appeared to be Laila Hasanovic. The tennis star, however, denied the claim, stating that he was in the city for photoshoots. The Danish model was reportedly spotted at Sinner\u2019s match during the Paris Slam and later attended Wimbledon.<\/p>\n At the US Open, meanwhile, the Italian admitted that he\u2019s \u2018in love\u2019 but refused to disclose further details about his personal life. He, however, triggered fresh speculation from fans after the US Open cameras captured him using his phone, which had Hasanovic\u2019s picture as the lockscreen.<\/p>\n The frenzy began during Sinner\u2019s third-round win over Denis Shapovalov at the US Open, when television cameras zeroed in on his phone in a cooldown area. The New York Post highlighted<\/a> that the lock screen spotted at the US Open resembled Hasanovic\u2019s Armani Beauty campaign<\/a> from July, drawing attention to how closely the image matched his background.<\/p>\n Jannik Sinner linked to model Laila Hasanovic after US Open phone discovery https:\/\/t.co\/DD1Q8YnQNX<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/fWz8Ctmohf<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 New York Post (@nypost) September 1, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Italian weekly Dipi\u00f9 added fuel to the fire by quoting Nicoletta Stampfl, co-owner of Santo Gelato in the La Condamine neighborhood of Monte Carlo, who said the pair had spent time together at her shop. \u201cSinner and Laila Hasanovic live in the La Condamine neighborhood of Monte Carlo.
