Tennis star Jannik Sinner has reportedly sparked romance rumors after being seen closely with Lara Lieto.
Lieto, a 31-year-old Russian model, is known as the former partner of Academy Award-winning actor Adrien Brody.
This comes after Sinner, aged 23, recently ended his relationship with fellow tennis player Anna Kalinskaya. Their relationship reportedly began in April 2024 and concluded in November.
It was believed that Sinner and Kalinskaya first connected during practice sessions.
Italian magazine Chi has published photos showing Sinner with Lieto, 31, at the Monte Carlo Country Club in France.
According to the report, Lieto was seen greeting Sinner`s coaching staff and capturing videos of the tennis star from the spectator stands.
It was also suggested that Sinner and the model were seen hugging at the end of the training session.
Later, she was reportedly spotted exiting his Audi RS6 ABT Legacy Edition supercar after sharing a kiss.
Lara Lieto dated actor Adrien Brody for six years after they met at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012.
She has previously been featured in fashion magazines such as Vogue and L’Officiel.
During his relationship with Kalinskaya, Sinner was frequently seen supporting her at her matches.
The former couple even shared a public kiss after Sinner won the US Open last year.
In May 2024, Sinner confirmed he was dating the Russian tennis player.
He stated about the relationship: “I`m with Anna, yes, but we keep everything very confidential.”
“You know my confidentiality… I won`t say more.”
In other news regarding Sinner, he received a three-month ban from the sport in March last year after testing positive for clostebol on two occasions.
His explanation for the anabolic steroid in his system was accepted by the doping authorities.
He claimed that it entered his system through a massage from his physio, who had treated a cut on his finger with a spray that contained clostebol.
Sinner was cleared of fault and negligence by an independent tribunal.
