Tennis's golden boy, Jannik Sinner, has set the rumour mill into overdrive, with fans convinced he is romantically involved with Italian model Maria Braccini. The speculation ignited after the pair were spotted sharing a seemingly intimate moment courtside at the prestigious Laver Cup in Berlin.
The 23-year-old Wimbledon champion and the stunning model were photographed in deep conversation, with Braccini appearing to gently adjust Sinner's necklace—a gesture perceived by many as familiarly affectionate. This potential new flame emerges a mere few months after Sinner's highly-publicised split from his previous girlfriend, former F1 heiress Maria Julieta Gullo.
From The Courts To The Crowd: The Telling Gesture
Eagle-eyed supporters watching the tournament broadcast were quick to zoom in on the interaction. The brief but telling moment, where Braccini reached out to fiddle with the tennis pro's chain, was instantly dissected on social media platforms. For many, the comfortable and personal nature of the act suggested a connection far beyond a mere friendship.
A Swift Rebound From A High-Profile Split
The new rumours mark a swift turn in Sinner's personal life. His previous relationship with Maria Julieta Gullo, the daughter of a prominent Argentine motorsport figure, had been a focal point for the tabloids until their separation earlier this year. The sudden appearance of a new leading lady in his player's box has captivated fans and gossip columns alike.
As of now, neither Sinner nor Braccini has publicly commented on the nature of their relationship. The pair have yet to be photographed together outside of the tournament setting, leaving the world to watch, wait, and speculate on whether tennis's newest power couple is officially in the making.
