He was always threatening to disrupt the world order of tennis, but Italian star Jannik Sinner is now one of the top players in the sport after winning the Australian Open
Jannik Sinner’s girlfriend Maria Braccini is now dating an Australian Open champion.
The Italian followed up his barnstorming semi-final demolition of Novak Djokovic with an incredible comeback against Daniil Medvedev in the final. The Russian roared into a two set lead, only for Sinner, 22, to take his game to the next level by winning the next three sets to take the championship.
His extraordinary tournament will likely be celebrated by his beloved AC Milan, who have previously celebrated his achievements at the San Siro. However, while he will surely be given a rousing reception by the Rossoneri, he is probably just looking forward to reuniting with his girlfriend.
It’s understood the Italian has been with the supermodel and influencer for the last three years. They reportedly started dating in 2020, but broke up a year later, only to then get back with each other soon after.
Braccini boasts a whopping 180,000 followers on Instagram, courtesy of her influencing and modelling activities. However, despite her huge reach, both Sinner and Bracini have decided to try and keep a low profile on social media by not uploading any full posts with each other.
In a previous interview, Sinner said: “Whether or not I am with a girl will never be known on social media, because I want to keep my private life private. I don’t need to post a photo to show whether I’m engaged. I never posted pictures with my parents, maybe one with my brother.”
While the pair may be more reserved on social media, Sinner was anything but that on the courts in Australia. Sinner was the first player to beat Djokovic at the Australian Open for 2,195 days. Djokovic did not even create a single break point against the ferocious Italian.
Despite a slow start, he brought that form into the final against Medvedev. The Russian won the first two sets 6-3, before Sinner roared back by winning the next two sets 6-4.
With the trophy now in the palm of his hand, he kept his cool to win the fifth and final set 6-3.
