When asked about his romantic life, Sinner addressed the speculation surrounding his relationship. He remarked that there was significant attention on his personal life during his absence from the court, and was surprised to see rumors and photos circulating. The tennis star said, '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.'
Sinner first publicly confirmed his relationship with Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya in May 2024 during the French Open. At the time, he said, 'Yes, I'm with Anna, but we keep everything very confidential. I won't say more.' Over time, the couple was seen supporting each other at major events, including Wimbledon.
In an interview with Vanity Fair Italia in June 2024, Sinner discussed the challenges of balancing a relationship with his demanding tennis career. He acknowledged that 'it's not easy,' given the traveling and intense focus required during the tournaments. However, Sinner also shared how special it was to find 'the right love.'

American tennis star Coco Gauff reaches French Open final
Coco Gauff will get a second chance to win the French Open this weekend. Gauff, 21, defeated Loïs Boisson 6-1, 6-2 in the semifinals Thursday, propelling her to the second French Open final of her career so far. The American tennis star, ranked No. 2 at Roland Garros, will face the No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka in the women's final on Saturday in Paris. The match on Saturday will be only the second No. 1 vs. No. 2 women's final at the French Open in the past 30 years, according to ESPN. The faceoff between Gauff and Sabalenka will be a Grand Slam final rematch for the pair. The two faced off in the 2023 U.S. Open final, which Gauff won to earn her first Grand Slam title at age 19. Saturday's final will be the third Grand Slam final of Gauff's career. She was the runner-up to Iga Swiatek at Roland Garros in 2022. Sabalenka defeated Swiatek 7-6 (1), 4-6, 6-0 in the semifinals at this year's tournament. Last summer at Roland Garros, Gauff made history during the 2024 Olympics, becoming the youngest American woman to win a singles match at the Olympics since Venus Williams in 2000, according to ESPN. Gauff also made history when she carried the flag for Team USA in the Games' opening ceremony, becoming the first tennis player to carry the flag for the U.S.

Coco Gauff ends Cinderella run by France's Loïs Boisson — ranked No. 361 — to reach her 2nd French Open final
PARIS — Coco Gauff reached her second French Open final by beating Loïs Boisson 6-1, 6-2 on Thursday to end the surprising, upset-filled run by a French wild-card entry who is ranked No. 361. The victory by No. 2 Gauff sets up a blockbuster championship match against No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka on Saturday. Sabalenka is a three-time major champion and earned a shot at a fourth by ending Iga Swiatek's 26-match French Open winning streak. Sabalenka's 7-6 (1), 4-6, 6-0 win in the semifinals prevents Swiatek from becoming the first woman to win four consecutive championships in Paris. This will be just the second No. 1-versus-No. 2 women's final at the French Open in the last 30 years. It's also a rematch of the 2023 U.S. Open final, in which Gauff beat Sabalenka to claim her first major trophy at age 19. Gauff was the runner-up to Swiatek at Roland-Garros in 2022. Much to the chagrin of the 15,000 or so locals pulling for their countrywoman under a closed roof at Court Philippe-Chatrier on a drizzly day, Gauff versus Boisson wasn't much of a contest, as might be expected from their rankings and relative experience. Then again, that didn't stop Boisson from eliminating both No. 3 Jessica Pegula and No. 6 Mirra Andreeva en route to becoming the first woman since 1989 to get to the semifinals in her Grand Slam debut. Loud as the crowd was, repeatedly singing Boisson's first name, Gauff's play spoke volumes, too, as she took 20 of the first 30 points for a 4-0 lead. That pattern held, and by the end Gauff had claimed 34 of the 51 points that lasted at least five strokes. Most remarkable about Sabalenka's win was the way — her back dotted with flecks of the rust-colored clay — she dominated in crunch time, racing through the last set. 'I mean, 6-love,' she said. 'What can I say? Couldn't be more perfect than that.' Swiatek's explanation? 'I lost my intensity a bit,' she said. 'Just couldn't push back.' With no wind or other elements for the players to confront, both produced some terrific tennis for stretches. But when Sabalenka decided to swing away, she rushed Swiatek into mistakes. This stat says it all: The third set included 12 unforced errors off Swiatek's racket and zero off Sabalenka's. 'It feels incredible, but I also understand that the job is not done yet,' said Sabalenka, a 27-year-old from Belarus who took the top WTA ranking from Swiatek last October. This continues a rough stretch for Swiatek, a 24-year-old from Poland, who hasn't reached a final at any tournament since walking away from Paris 12 months ago with her third trophy in a row — and fifth Grand Slam title overall. She recently slid to No. 5 in the rankings. Her rut includes a loss in the semifinals at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Later last season, she was suspended for a month after testing positive for a banned substance; her explanation was accepted that the result was caused by a contaminated medicine. Sabelanka is, unquestionably, as good as it gets in women's tennis right now. Even before getting to this final, her six appearances in title matches this year were the most for a woman entering the French Open since Serena Williams in 2013. And her first-strike tennis, always such a threat on faster surfaces, is clearly quite useful on the slower clay too. On Saturday, the thuds generated by her contact with the ball reverberated around the arena. 'She didn't doubt,' Swiatek said. 'She just went for it.' Even though Sabalenka broke in the first game and soon led 4-1 — at which point Swiatek was glancing up at her coach, Wim Fissette, in the stands, hoping for some sort of insight that could change things — this was not one-way traffic. Swiatek ended up leading 5-4 in that set, but when they got to the tiebreaker, Sabalenka asserted herself. She did the same in the final set. The fans seemed mainly to be pulling for Swiatek, perhaps hoping to see a bit of history, and broke into chants of 'I-ga!' rather frequently. That might have rubbed Sabalenka the wrong way because after striking a return winner, she windmilled her arms at the mild reaction, as if to say, 'Hey! I'm here, too! And I'm No. 1. How about sending some support this way?'

French Open: No. 1 Sinner plays Djokovic and defending champ Alcaraz faces Musetti in semis
PARIS — It is unusual to think of Novak Djokovic as not being the favorite to win a French Open semifinal, given that his greatest clay-court rival Rafael Nadal has retired. After all, Djokovic has won three titles at Roland-Garros among his men's record 24 Grand Slams. He also owns prestigious winning head-to-head records against 22-time major winner Nadal (31-29) and 20-time major champion Roger Federer (27-23).
