On May 23, 2025, during the French Open Media Day at Roland Garros, world No. 1 Jannik Sinner was visibly taken aback when a journalist probed into his personal life, asking about his recent Copenhagen sighting with a mystery woman and her identity. The Italian star, preparing for his first-round match against Christopher Eubanks on May 26, 2025, swiftly shut down the question, reaffirming his single status with a flustered yet firm response (Sportskeeda, May 24, 2025). This moment, echoing Elena Rybakina’s controversial tribute to her ex-coach, highlights the intense scrutiny athletes face off the court (Sportskeeda, May 25, 2025).
The journalist’s query referenced paparazzi photos from Copenhagen, sparking speculation about Sinner’s love life. “I’m not in a relationship,” Sinner stated, laughing nervously, as captured in a clip shared by @TheTennisLetter on X: “Nothing serious” (X, May 5, 2025). X user @jmgmoron noted the awkwardness: “First question at #RolandGarros Media Day about a girl in Copenhagen? 😅” (X, May 23, 2025). @poperinotv called Sinner a “cucciolone” (puppy) for his embarrassed reaction (X, May 21, 2025). Sinner’s discomfort mirrors earlier 2025 denials, like his Monte Carlo press conference clarifying he’s single (X, May 20, 2025).
Sinner’s focus remains on tennis, with a 2025 record of 35-6, including Australian Open and Indian Wells titles (ATP Tour, May 24, 2025). His French Open draw includes potential clashes with Alex de Minaur, whom he leads 10-0 (au.news.yahoo.com, May 6, 2025). Despite off-court noise, including a 2024 doping case that drew online abuse akin to Alexander Zverev’s experience, Sinner stays grounded (Sportskeeda, May 25, 2025). “I live for my sport,” he told reporters, redirecting to his title defense (Tennis.com, May 24, 2025). His swift shutdown of gossip underscores a champion’s resolve to keep romance rumors at bay.
