Jannik Sinner’s Love Game: Tennis Star’s Rumored Girlfriend Finally Shows Up at Vienna Open (And His Parents Love Her!)
Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to make it official—or at least official enough to sit with the parents. Jannik Sinner’s rumored girlfriend, Laila Hasanovic, was spotted courtside at the Vienna Open, and this time she wasn’t flying solo. The Danish model was photographed alongside Sinner’s parents, Hanspeter and Siglinde, watching their golden boy absolutely demolish Daniel Altmaier in what can only be described as a tennis massacre (6-0, 6-2, ouch).
This marks the first time Hasanovic has been publicly photographed with the Sinner family, which in tennis dating terms is basically equivalent to getting the keys to the house. The trio looked pretty cozy in the stands, beaming as the World No. 2 delivered a performance that was more surgical than competitive.
The Not-So-Secret Romance That Everyone’s Talking About
Let’s be real here—calling this relationship “rumored” at this point is like calling water “allegedly wet.” Hasanovic has been following Sinner around the tennis circuit like a beautiful, blonde shadow all year. She was spotted at the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open, basically completing the Grand Slam of girlfriend appearances.
The most telling evidence? During Sinner’s US Open run, eagle-eyed fans caught a glimpse of his phone’s lock screen, which appeared to feature none other than Hasanovic herself. Because nothing says “just friends” like having someone’s face as your wallpaper, right?
Yet somehow, both parties have mastered the art of keeping their mouths shut about their relationship status. In an era where couples announce their breakfast choices on Instagram, these two have maintained more secrecy than a government operation.
Sinner Spills (Sort Of) About Family Support
After his Vienna Open victory, Sinner opened up about having his family present—though he was characteristically coy about certain members of his support crew. “My mom usually gets nervous watching,” he revealed, before adding with what we can only assume was a straight face, “I don’t know if she was here in the stands or not.”
Right, Jannik. We’re sure you had absolutely no idea that your parents were sitting right there with your totally-not-girlfriend, probably discussing wedding plans and grandchildren. The Italian continued, “Having my dad in the box, it’s great. We are just a very normal family.”
Normal families don’t usually have their son’s rumored romantic interests casually hanging out with them at international tennis tournaments, but sure, let’s go with “normal.”
What This Vienna Appearance Really Means
This Vienna Open sighting feels different from previous appearances. There’s something about the casual integration with the family unit that suggests this relationship has moved beyond the “let’s keep this quiet” phase. When you’re comfortable enough to sit with the parents during a high-stakes match, you’ve crossed into serious relationship territory.
The timing is particularly interesting, considering Sinner is coming off a dominant performance at the Six Kings Slam exhibition. The man is clearly in peak form both on and off the court, and having his support system—biological and romantic—there to witness it makes perfect sense.
The Road Ahead for Tennis’s Power Couple-in-Denial
Sinner’s next challenge comes in the form of compatriot Flavio Cobolli in the Vienna Open second round. This will be their first ATP Tour-level meeting, which should provide plenty of entertainment for the Italian tennis fans—and presumably, for Hasanovic, who seems to have developed quite the appreciation for watching her man work.
The winner of that match will face either Francisco Cerundolo or Alexander Bublik in the quarterfinals, meaning there could be several more opportunities for family-and-girlfriend bonding sessions in the Vienna stands.
The Verdict: Love Actually
Look, we get it. Privacy is important, especially when you’re one of the world’s best tennis players and your every move is scrutinized. But when you’re bringing your rumored girlfriend to meet the parents at international tennis tournaments, the “rumored” part becomes a bit of a joke.
Sinner and Hasanovic have managed to maintain their mystery while simultaneously being about as subtle as a neon sign. The Vienna Open family photo session pretty much confirms what tennis fans have suspected all along—these two are the real deal.
Whether they choose to make it Instagram official or continue their adorable game of relationship hide-and-seek remains to be seen. But one thing’s for certain: Mama and Papa Sinner have given their stamp of approval, and in the world of professional tennis relationships, that’s basically the ultimate endorsement.
