Jannik Sinner's 'attractive' new girlfriend Laila Hasanovic sparks strange comments from Rennae Stubbs & co-host

Rennae Stubbs has spoken about Jannik Sinner and his girlfriend Laila Hasanovic on her podcast, which she co-hosts with Caitlin Thompson, the founder of tennis media company Racquet. Stubbs was all praise for Hasanovic's looks, while Thompson said she isn't too familiar with the Danish model and influencer, to which the former issued a rather quirky response.

Rumors of Sinner and Hasanovic's romance surfaced earlier this year, but for months, both the Italian and Dane neither confirmed nor denied their speculated relationship. However, following his title triumph at the 2025 Vienna Open, where Hasanovic was in attendance, Sinner very subtly made it clear that he is indeed in a romantic relationship with the Dane.

On a recently-released episode of The Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast, former women's doubles No. 1 and Serena Williams' ex-coach Rennae Stubbs touched on the good times Jannik Sinner is currently enjoying both on and off the tennis court. The Italian ended the year as the World No. 2 and also defeated year-end No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz to become a two-time ATP Finals champion, following which he jetted off to the Maldives.

"He's having a lot of fun. He's enjoying his team and clearly he's off to the Maldives. He's got a very attractive new girlfriend," Stubbs said. (from 5:40)

Subsequently, Stubbs' podcast co-host Caitlin Thompson chimed in, claiming she hasn't even seen the Danish model and influencer so far.

"No comment. I don't know. I don't know who it is. I haven't seen her," Thompson responded.

Next, Stubbs playfully suggested that Hasanovic isn't Thompson's type, saying:

"I don't think she's your type."

Recent reports stemming from Denmark claimed that Jannik Sinner and Laila Hasanovic spent time together in the country's capital Copenhagen not long after the Italian won the ATP Finals for the second year in a row. Based on the reports, the couple explored Kongens Nytorv's famed Christmas market and experienced the city's nightlife at a club later on as well.

On the tennis front, the World No. 2 and four-time Major champion is set to begin his preparations for the upcoming 2026 tennis season soon. He took the bold decision to withdraw from Italy's Davis Cup Finals team earlier this year to give himself more time for rest and recovery before getting his preseason underway for the 2026 Australian Open.

Jannik Sinner is slated to defend his Australian Open crown come January and this time around, there's every chance that Laila Hasanovic will join the Italian in Melbourne.
