Jannik Sinner Breaks Silence on Romance Rumors with Russian Model Lara Lieto

The world’s number one tennis player, Italian star Jannik Sinner, has responded for the first time to rumors of a romance with 31-year-old Russian model Lara Lieto.

«I’m getting a lot of attention, even off the court, and I was quite surprised to see photos that don’t suggest anything serious,» he said with a smile. «I’m not in a relationship, so if anyone asks, everything is fine,» Sinner shared during a press conference for We Love Tennis.

Previously, the pair were spotted together in Monte Carlo, where Sinner resides. Lieto was also seen watching Sinner’s training sessions from the stands. Later, media outlets reported that they were seen kissing.

It’s worth noting that in 2024, Jannik Sinner was in a relationship with Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya. They announced their relationship in May and were last seen together after the US Open 2024, which Sinner won.
