International First Tennis Duo, Sinner and Russian Lieto, Are Reportedly in a Romantic Relationship.
Catching a Break
Tennis sensation Yannick Sinner, the thrice Grand Slam champ, has found himself in the limelight for reasons other than his victories. The 22-year-old Italian heartthrob, a regular in Monte Carlo, has been spotted smooching with Russian model Larisa Leto, as per Chi magazine.
The paparazzi caught them packing a steamy smooch after Sinner's training session, and also snapped Leto cheering him on during his practice sessions.
Before this fling, Larisa Leto was in a six-year whirlwind romance with none other than the renowned actor, Adrien Brody. The 31-year-old model, born in Moscow but a transplant abroad for a considerable time, has graced the runways of top fashion houses and graced the pages of international glossy magazines.
In the past, Yannick Sinner confessed his relationship with fellow Russian tennis player, Anna Kalinskaya. However, their beloved connection seemed to take a backseat after the US Open, sparking murmurs of a broken bond. Now, it seems our World No. 1 has a fresh flame in his life.

Jannik Sinner's Romantic Journey
centers on two major players: Anna Kalinskaya and, more recently, Lara Leito.
1. Anna Kalinskaya (2024–early 2025)The Russian tennis player and Sinner went public during the 2024 French Open, with Kalinskaya constantly by his side at matches, even cheering him on during his US Open victory, where they locked lips courtside[1][4]. By November 2024, the duo reportedly took a break to evaluate their relationship, citing a "crisis" and a desire to "better understand their future"[1]. Sinner confirmed the relationship earlier in 2024 but emphasized discretion, stating, "I’m with Anna, yes, but we keep our personal lives under wraps"[1].
2. Lara Leito (April 2025)Recent reports show Sinner exchanging a smooch with Adrien Brody's ex, Lara Leito, fueling romance rumors[1]. This development falls at the end of Sinner’s three-month doping suspension (February–May 2025), which was a result of a clostebol contamination case involving a massage spray[1][3]. The timeline suggests overlap, though specifics on when his relationship with Leito began remain unclear.
Sinner’s return at the 2025 Italian Open (May 5 onward) will likely attract attention both for his performances on the court and his personal life off it[1][3].
