Sinner took part in a fun, fill-in-the-blanks-style Q&A at the recently concluded Paris Masters, where he registered his fifth Masters 1000 title. The 24-year-old was asked what love is according to him, and his answer was a simple yet profound one.

"(Love is) loving," the Italian said.

For months prior to Sinner's revelation at the Vienna Open, significant rumors and speculation were circulating about the Italian and Dane's relationship.
