Is Michael Schumacher’s ex- partner currently dating tennis ace Jannik Sinner?

hen tennis star Jannik Sinner took the court at the French Open this June, it wasn’t just his explosive backhand or fiery matches entering the headlines—it was his personal life.

Rumors linking him romantically with Laila Hasanovic, who was previously linked to F1 racer Michael Schumacher, exploded alongside intense media scrutiny. While love stories in sports aren’t new, their presence during a Grand Slam adds a different beat to the athlete’s rhythm. Rather than focus on court stats or sponsorships, this piece explores how off-court relationships—real or rumored—shape the public perception and internal world of rising champions like Sinner in modern tennis.

What drew the media attention towards Sinner’s private life

Across social platforms and tabloids, the chatter was quite loud. Fans worldwide speculated over the unlikely match: “F1 star Mick Schumacher’s model ex‑girlfriend sparks Jannik Sinner dating rumours as she watches his French Open final defeat”. Though the original Daily Mail story led the narrative, it’s essential to separate speculation from fact.According to Sinner’s Wikipedia page, the 23‑year‑old Italian—currently having lost the French Open to Alcaraz—was in a known relationship with athlete Anna Kalinskaya from June 2024 until their split in early May 2025.

Kalinskaya herself, a Russian tennis pro, had confirmed on the French Open grounds that they were dating, maintaining they “keep everything very confidential. You know my confidentiality… I won’t say more”.

Interestingly, the rumored connection to Laila Hasanovic overlaps with this timeline. But Sinner has not publicly confirmed any relationship beyond Kalinskaya. And while tabloids often spotlight these stories—especially during big tournaments—many athletes choose discretion in their private lives.

Of course, what stands out is how quickly such rumors can influence fan attention and media framing. While Sinner geared up to launch his Jannik Sinner Foundation in April 2025 to empower youth through sport, the juxtaposition between philanthropic focus of the tennis star and dating rumours couldn’t be sharper.Jannik Sinner’s tennis has always spoken volumes—but his personal life, be it private or publicly speculated, adds resonance to his public persona. In a world where relationships can be headlines overnight, maintaining focus becomes both art and necessity. As Sinner continues to define himself—on court, off court, and through charity work—it’s worth remembering that every ace, every sponsorship, and every off-court headline is but one part of the story.

Behind the rumors lies a human navigating pressure, success, and scrutiny—balancing love, legacy, and life with poise.
