World No 1 Jannik Sinner sparks romance rumours with stunning model ex of Oscar winner Adrien Brody ahead of return from doping ban - after splitting with fellow tennis star
World No 1 Jannik Sinner has reportedly begun a romance with Russian model Lara Leito ahead of his return to tennis next month.
Sinner will make his return in front of a home crowd at the Italian Open, with his three-month doping ban expiring on May 6.
The three-time Grand Slam champion has prepared for his return by training in Monte Carlo, where the star was pictured with a reported new love interest.
Italian outlet Chi magazine pictured Sinner, 23, with 31-year-old model Leito at the Monte Carlo Country Club.
Leito reportedly greeted Sinner's coaching team and was seen filming the star as she watched him train from the stands.
She was then reportedly seen hugging Sinner at the end of the session and was later leaving his Audi RS6 ABT Legacy Edition car with the pair exchanging a kiss.

Leito had reportedly been seen watching Sinner train before kissing the tennis star
The model, 31, had previously dated two-time Oscar winning actor Adrien Brody for six years
Leito had previously dated two-time Oscar winning actor Adrien Brody for six years, who she had met at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012.
The Russian model, who has previously featured in both Vogue and L'Officiel, was previously linked to French actor Olivier Martinez.
Sinner's reported new romance with Leito, who attended the Monte Carlo Masters earlier this month, follows his split from fellow tennis star Anna Kalinskaya.
The powerhouse couple were reported to have taken a break in November, amid an apparent 'crisis' in order to 'better understand their relationship and future'.
Sinner and Kalinskaya were believed to have started dating in April 2024 after meeting during practice sessions together.
They had regularly been seen supporting each other at matches, most notably when Kalinskaya was in Sinner's box and the couple exchanged a kiss following his triumph at the US Open last year.
Speaking during the French Open in May, when Sinner confirmed he was together with Kalinskaya, the Italian said: 'I'm with Anna, yes, but we keep everything very confidential.
'You know my confidentiality… I won't say more.'
Sinner had dated fellow tennis star Anna Kalinskaya, but reports claimed their relationship came to an end in November just two months after their kiss after his US Open triumph

Kalinskaya and Sinner were initially reported to have taken a 'break' from their relationship
Sinner, who won the Australian Open in January, will return from his doping ban next month
Sinner's reportedly new romance with Leito reportedly began during the reigning US and Australian Open's three-month ban from the sport.
Sinner was sanctioned after he twice tested positive for clostebol in March of last year.
Doping authorities accepted his explanation that clostebol entered his system via a massage after his physio treated a cut on his own finger with an over-the counter spray containing the anabolic steroid.
He was initially given no ban at all by the Tennis Integrity Agency but WADA appealed that decision and reached a controversial settlement with Sinner in February.
