Who is Lara Leito? All about Jannik Sinner’s rumoured girlfriend as tennis star confirms Anna Kalinskaya breakup

Jannik Sinner, talking in an Italian Open press conference on Monday, May 5, shared his excitement in returning to the court and further confirmed that he is currently single, thus indirectly denying recent dating rumors linking him with Russian model Lara Leito and confirming his breakup with Anna Kalinskaya.

Lara Leito is a 31-year-old Russian model who graduated from UC Berkeley, California. She reportedly has a successful modeling career, having appeared on the cover of prestigious magazines and modeled for designers like Roberto Cavalli. Jannik Sinner is a 23-year-old Italian tennis player. He recently returned to court after a three-month ban after failing a doping test.

According to various reports, in late April 2025, rumors linking Sinner and Lara Leito started circulating after Leito was spotted attending one of Sinner's training sessions and interacting with Sinner's team and coach. Furthermore, Daily Sports reports that Italian outlet Chi released pictures of the two together, and there were even reports that the pair was allegedly seen hugging.

On May 5, 2025, while talking to an Italian Open Press Conference, Jannik Sinner shared with the media that,

"I was surprised to see some of the photos of me in the press. In the end, it made me realize that I'm someone important on and off the court, lot of attention around me everyday, we see it a bit with the little things right?”

He continued that

"I was very surprised to see some pictures, which, you know, nothing serious...I'm not in a relationship. So, whoever is asking, that's it. It's all good."

For further context, in early 2024, Sinner was dating a Tennis player, Anna Kalinskaya, but the two reportedly went their separate ways in November of the same year. Thus, by this statement, one can elucidate that Sinner is confirming his breakup with Kalinskaya and denying relationship rumors with Leito.

During the conference, Sinner discussed time away from the game and addressed other questions. He was on a three-month suspension after he tested positive in two doping tests. According to Tennis.com, Sinner's team argued that the substance got into his system via an antiseptic spray used by a physiotherapist during a massage.
