According to Libero, Laila Hasanovic doesn’t want to move in with Jannik Sinner
“Laila Puts the Brakes on Sinner: ‘I Don’t Want to Move In with Him.’” The headline chosen by Libero.it in reporting on the interview given by the stunning Danish model—the girlfriend of the world’s No. 1 tennis player—to Elle Danmark leaves no room for doubt. The article then features extensive excerpts from the conversation between the model and the journalist from the Scandinavian publication. As is well known, the tennis star has been living in Monte Carlo for some time, and it’s no coincidence that he began his recovery there following his recent injury.
Hasanovic herself clarified her position in the interview with the Danish magazine—which featured her on the cover of its October issue, a special edition marking the publication’s 18th anniversary — clarified that distance is not seen as an insurmountable obstacle: “We’ve learned to live with this aspect, given our constant commitments. And besides, even if I moved to Monte Carlo tomorrow, we’d still be in a long-distance relationship, because Jannik is busy with tournaments almost all year round.” A pragmatic response that paints a picture of a couple well aware of their own dynamics.
The interview also includes reflections on the more complicated side of their relationship, linked to the fame surrounding the Italian champion. “It’s a new reality,” admitted the 25-year-old model—currently in the spotlight at Milan Fashion Week—referring to the media attention that accompanies every appearance she makes alongside Sinner. At the same time, Laila was keen to emphasize how the two have managed to carve out a private space for themselves: “Jannik and I, fortunately, have managed to create our own space, where we can be 100 percent ourselves. We’re a completely normal couple.”
The interview comes at a particularly challenging time for both of them. While Laila shone at the Milan fashion shows—from the front row at Antonio Marras, in an embroidered light blue suit alongside Adrien Brody and Gabry Ponte, to the Vogue event in a black Chantilly lace evening gown —Sinner was grappling with his recovery from a knee injury that forced him to skip the tournaments in Montreal, Cincinnati, the U.S. Open, and, most recently, Beijing, where he was unable to defend the title he won in 2025.
It was Sinner himself who announced his withdrawal from the Chinese tournament via a post on his official X profile: “I’m sorry to announce that I won’t be able to make it; I’m not ready to play yet. I’ll miss the tournament, the fans, and the atmosphere.” Just a few words, but enough to make it clear that his return to the court will still take some time. On the sidelines of Milan Fashion Week, while exchanging a few words with journalist Anna Wintour, the tennis player from San Candido had already hinted at the situation with a touch of irony: “Did you think I’d go to Beijing? I thought so too… Ready for January? Well, if I don’t come back in January, that would be a problem.”
