WATCH: Jannik Sinner shuts down speculation about alleged relationship with Lara Leito

Tennis star Jannik Sinner has refuted his relationship with Russian model Lara Leito ahead of his return to the court from his three-month doping ban. The world number one has served the suspension ban from February 9 to May 5 after testing positive for Clostebol in Indian Wells 2024. Notably, just a few days back, his name was linked with the 31-year-old Russian model Lara at the Monte Carlo. 

The duo was spotted together in some videos that have gone viral on social media. However, the star player has refuted these claims while stating that he is not in a relationship despite reports and media linking his name to a Hollywood actress.

A few days back, the Italian reports claimed that the Australian Open 2025 champion had begun a romance with Russian star Leito. In addition, the 31-year-old model was seen kissing Sinner after leaving his car following a recent training session.

Jannik Sinner eyes Italian Open 2025 following doping comeback

Jannik Sinner is now set to make his appearance in the Italian Open 2025. The star player tested positive for clostebol during the Indian Wells back in 2024. He was last seen in action in the Australian Open 2025 final, where he lifted the crown after defeating Alexander Zverev.

"I think at the beginning of the three months, it was quite nice. A bit of time away from all the grind, I spent time with family and with friends. I was doing new things and getting to know myself better, finding out where I stand. I think it helped me a lot. Now that we have less than a month to go, we're training very, very hard. Hopefully, we'll get some momentum going again ahead of the clay season. It certainly won't be easy for me. The first games will be really difficult. But hopefully I'll be able to get back into the rhythm and then we'll see how it goes," Jannik Sinner said.
