Has the world’s No. 1 tennis player found his new No. 1 girl?
Does one of the world’s hottest models have an ace up her sleeve – or on her sleeve?
Brooks Nader, a cover model for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, commented about the rumours that she is dating tennis star Jannik Sinner after she was spotted at the U.S. Open earlier this week.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the blonde bombshell was quizzed about her rumoured relationship with the Italian tennis star.
Towards the end of Kimmel’s interview with Nader, during which she was promoting her new reality TV show Love Thy Nader, the host asked about the recent match she attended in New York at the Grand Slam tournament between Carlos Alcaraz and Arthur Rinderknech.
“You were at the U.S. Open on Sunday,” he said while holding a picture of Nader with Late Night host Stephen Colbert and his wife, Evie, in the stands. “You’re sitting there with Colberts … were you with them or was this a coincidence?”
“This was a coincidence,” Nader replied, after which Kimmel cut straight to the point, asking: “Are you dating the Italian tennis superstar Jannik Sinner?”
Nader looked shocked, but then jokingly asked, “Is this like an interrogation? I’m so scared right now.”
“Well, ask Stephen what match we were at. I don’t think he was playing in that one. You’re close, you’re warm,” she then told the host.
Kimmel then asked if it was somebody else, to which Nader said: “You’re warm, but we weren’t at that match.”
The Nader-Sinner dating rumour came to light last week when Nader’s sisters hinted during a radio interview that the four-time Grand Slam champion had slid into the model’s DMs.
“Every field and court,” Grace Ann Nader said of the athletes who have messaged her star sibling, adding, “It rhymes with ‘winner.’”
Sinner, 24, previously dated fellow tennis player Anna Kalinskaya for almost a year, but confirmed earlier this spring they had broken up, according to People.
He also recently had been linked to model Laila Hasanovic after fans claimed to have spotted a photo of her on his phone during the tournament.
While his off-court life has been in the spotlight, it hasn’t distracted Sinner on the court. He is set to take on Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime in a semifinal matchup on Friday night.
