​Laila Hasanovic, the girlfriend of Jannik Sinner, stole the spotlight from the players’ box during Sunday’s Wimbledon men’s singles final. She turned heads with a dazzling diamond necklace that drew plenty of attention in the photos circulating online (credit to The Sun and X user ceci). Fans weighed in on her fashion choice, flooding social media with comments like, “Oh honey she came with them diamonds,” and “Gorgeous as always.” Others praised her sparkle, with remarks such as, “She really showed up with the full sparkle package,” and “She didn’t come to play she came to sparkle. Those diamonds are doing all the talking. Dripping in diamonds and serving looks.”
After dropping the first-set tiebreaker to Alexander Zverev, Sinner rallied to win three straight sets, clinching his second consecutive Wimbledon title, his first major of the year, and his fifth career Grand Slam. In the post-match moment, the Italian expressed his gratitude for the support system around him, including his girlfriend Laila Hasanovic, noting how crucial their presence is through the highs and lows. Sinner has faced heat-related challenges in recent campaigns, including dehydration that interrupted his runs at the Australian Open and the French Open, which fueled questions about his endurance in the July English conditions. Rumors even floated that Sunday’s final might have been delayed by an hour to accommodate Sinner’s needs.
“I appreciate the people I have around. I appreciate the understanding they have towards me. Because I know that I ask of them a lot,” Sinner said after his victory. He added that the days he spends with family off the court and during practice are paramount, emphasizing that those moments help sustain him through the demanding schedule of a season. The milestone felt especially meaningful to him, as Wimbledon has long held a special place in his heart. “Now to win twice here it means the world to me,” he reflected, recalling how Wimbledon has been a part of his life since childhood.
Sinner’s remarks also touched on his perspective about success and pressure. He noted that he would have left Wimbledon satisfied even if he hadn’t beaten Zverev, given the health challenges he had faced in the lead-up to the tournament. The absence of Carlos Alcaraz, sidelined since April with a wrist injury, had tempered expectations for the field, though it did not dampen Sinner’s resolve. “I don’t think it’s relief, to be honest. The only thing I’m very happy about is that I’m trying to do my best every day,” he said, underscoring that a Grand Slam win is a rare and special outcome but not the sole measure of a season.
“Sometimes you have a tournament with a good outcome. Sometimes you just don’t have… there’s no failure if you don’t win a Grand Slam. It’s very rare days. Now I have five in my whole life,” he continued, placing his triumph in the context of a broader career. Five Grand Slams are meaningful, he explained, but they represent just a portion of the countless days that comprise a tennis career. The focus, he stressed, is on enjoying the moment while continuing to strive for improvement in the months ahead. With Wimbledon now in the books, Sinner will shift his attention to maintaining momentum, preparing for the next major and the next stretch of the season, while fans will no doubt remember the final as much for the on-court drama as for the glamorous spotlight that shone from the stands.
