The Wimbledon Spotlight: Victory and Viral Moments
Jannik Sinner’s big moment at Wimbledon quickly became as much about his rumored new romance as it was about his spectacular win. The 23-year-old Italian tennis sensation clinched his first Grand Slam title on July 13, 2025, taking down Carlos Alcaraz in a match that not only settled their French Open score but launched Sinner straight into the global tennis spotlight. However, all eyes weren't just on Sinner’s trophy—the presence of Danish influencer Laila Hasanovic in his player’s box set social media abuzz nearly as much as the match itself.
Hasanovic, already a familiar face online with more than 350,000 Instagram and TikTok followers, didn’t exactly blend in with the Wimbledon crowd. Far from it. She posted a TikTok from the tournament joking, "Time to look confused at Wimbledon," and nearly three-quarters of a million people laughed along, sending the video viral. Her courtside seat and playful attitude made her one of the most talked-about spectators that day. Naturally, the rumor mill kicked into high gear since fans knew that Sinner had recently split from Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya, who herself has been no stranger to the tennis limelight.
Rumor Mills and Social Media Intrigue
The real fuel for all this speculation comes from both timing and visibility. Hasanovic has a history in the celebrity dating world; she previously dated Mick Schumacher, son of the legendary Formula One driver Michael Schumacher, a relationship that lasted three years and kept her orbiting sports royalty. Even post-breakup, Hasanovic reportedly kept close ties with the Schumacher family, proving she’s no stranger to the world of high-profile athletes.
During the Wimbledon final, her appearance wasn’t subtle. She was spotted laughing and chatting with influencer Victoria Garber, looking right at home among tennis WAGs and friends. Social media picked up on every detail, breaking down her posts and speculating about her status with Sinner. Still, Sinner himself has tried repeatedly to play down the drama. In May 2025, even before the Grand Slam drama unfolded, he told the press, “Nothing serious. I’m not in a relationship.”
- Sinner’s first Grand Slam win marks a turning point in his career.
- Laila Hasanovic’s Wimbledon cameo goes viral on TikTok.
- Breakup with Anna Kalinskaya adds to the speculation soup.
- Sinner insists his focus is 100% on his tennis career.
None of this internet attention seems to bother Sinner much. Even as sports fans and tabloids dissect every hand gesture and side glance between him and Hasanovic, he’s quick to remind reporters that tennis is what matters most to him. Yet, with fans glued to both their matches and their social feeds, it’s clear Sinner’s off-court moves will be just as closely watched as his serve for now. And in today’s sports world, sometimes the box seats are as newsworthy as the battle on the baseline.
