Laila Hasanovic, the notable absentee on Jannik Sinner’s big day, is a case in point
A wide-ranging press conference, but with one notable absence: Laila Hasanovic. Jannik Sinner spoke publicly again today, Tuesday, November 10, in Milan, at the “Be Like Sinner” event organized by Allianz. The world No. 2 addressed a variety of topics, ranging from his lengthy rehabilitation following his knee injury to his plans for 2027, as well as his relationships with other tennis players, his parting ways with Darren Cahill, and his life off the court.
In short, he talked about everything—except his love life. And especially his alleged separation from the Danish model, with whom rumors of a possible breakup have been circulating for weeks. Laila’s name never came up in Jannik’s account; he preferred to focus on his daily life and the people who have stood by him during this difficult time.
While waiting to return to competition, Sinner is trying to make the best of a forced break that certainly wasn’t part of his plans. “This is a difficult time because I’m at home and playing on the simulator all day. Then I go to the gym, then I’m back on the simulator,” he said with a smile.
This is a significant change for a champion accustomed to being in control of his training and career. “It’s the first time I haven’t been in control: it’s a strange feeling, one I don’t like. I’m spending more time with my family and friends.”
It is precisely his closest loved ones who seem to serve as a fundamental source of support during this phase. Sinner spoke about his newfound sense of normalcy, about his days spent between training sessions, the driving simulator, video games, and moments spent with his loved ones. No mention, however, of the Danish model.
This silence takes on special significance in light of the rumors that have been circulating for weeks now. The relationship between Sinner and Hasanovic, which became public in 2025, is said to have come to an end according to various accounts. Suspicions were reignited mainly by certain clues on social media, including the model’s birthday—celebrated without the tennis player—and a video posted on TikTok during Halloween, which many interpreted as a possible romantic dig.
Neither of them, however, has officially confirmed the end of the relationship. And even at the Milan event on November 10, Jannik chose not to fuel the gossip, avoiding any mention of his romantic situation. There was no confirmation, but no denial either. Laila wasn’t mentioned even once, while Sinner spoke naturally about his relationships with his family, friends, and his team.
