Meet Wimbledon ace Jannik Sinner’s glamorous girlfriend

One year after he went head-to-head with Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon 2025, Jannik Sinner is set to return to Centre Court for a semi-final showdown against the seven-time Wimbledon champion.

Sinner won in straight sets in their iconic semi-final duel from last year, and he is looking strong again in 2026 after winning his past four rounds without losing a single set. One person who will be cheering on the 24-year-old tennis pro from the sidelines is his girlfriend, Laila Hasanovic.

Find out everything you need to know about the power couple…

Who is Jannik Sinner?

Born on August 16 2001, Sinner is an Italian professional tennis player. Ranked as the world’s number one by the ATP, he is the first Italian to ever reach the top ranking.

What championships has Sinner won?

He has won 19 singles titles on the ATP Tour.

He has won four majors – the 2024 and 2025 Australian Opens, the 2024 US Open and Wimbledon 2025.

He has also won the 2024 ATP Finals and four Masters 1000 titles, and he led Italy to the 2023 and 2024 Davis Cup crowns.

When did Sinner begin playing tennis?

He began playing in professional men’s events aged 16, and became one of the few players to win multiple ATP Challenger Tour titles at age 17. 

He won the ATP Newcomer of the Year award in 2019 and in 2021, he became the youngest ATP 500 champion at the Washington Open.

Has Sinner beaten Djokovic before?

At the 2024 Australian Open, Sinner defeated the then-world number one Djokovic in the semi-final. He went on to win the championship after he beat Daniil Medvedev in a five-set final.

In last year’s Wimbledon semi-final, he also delivered a flawless performance against the legendary Novak Djokovic, defeating him in three straight sets.

Who is Sinner dating?

The sports star dated Italian model Maria Braccini from 2020 to 2024, before entering into a relationship with Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya.

“Of course, it’s not easy, I travel a lot and during tournaments, I’m very focused,” Sinner told Vanity Fair at the time.

“But I think it’s a beautiful thing when you find the right love. Like for everyone,” he said. “And then, if you think about it, the best tennis players in the world all have wives and children.”

However, a year later, in May 2025, Sinner confirmed they had broken up. 

Sinner is currently dating Danish model and fashion influencer Laila Hasanovic. The founder of self-tanning brand NRD55 is no stranger to the spotlight, having previously dated F1 driver Mick Schumacher, but they split in early 2025.

Rumours of Laila and Jannik’s romance began during the 2025 US Open when eagle-eyed fans spotted her photo on Sinner’s phone lock screen. He confirmed their relationship during his victory speech at the Vienna Open in October 2025.

“Thank you so much for the support. The work you put in, the effort. Also, to understand me at times, it is not easy, but thank you for putting in the effort. Everyone here, with family, my girlfriend, friends. To my whole team and also those watching at home. Thank you so much for the support,” he said.

Sinner’s scandals

In August 2024, an independent tribunal announced that Sinner had tested positive for the banned substance clostebol in two separate tests from March 2024.

The tribunal accepted Sinner’s explanation that the banned drug had entered his body via massages administered by his physiotherapist, and that Sinner bore “no fault or negligence”, but he was forced to forfeit prize money and ranking points earned at the Indian Wells tournament.

In early 2025, the World Anti-Doping Agency appealed the decision, and a settlement was reached that led to Sinner being suspended for three months.

How much prize money has Sinner won?

2024 was his best year, taking home $19,735,703 in prize money. In 2025, he won $19,120,641.
