Jannik Sinner is back on the tennis circuit after a three-month suspension for testing positive for clostebol, a banned anabolic steroid. The world’s top-ranked ATP player is preparing for his comeback at the upcoming Rome Masters 1000, which kicks off on May 7.
Sinner’s training sessions at the Monte Carlo Country Club were recently spotted by Italian magazine Chi. The publication caught the tennis star in a romantic moment with 31-year-old Russian model Lara Leito. Leito was previously in a six-year relationship with actor Adrien Brody.
Romance spotted
Chi’s photos show Leito cheering Sinner on from the stands while he trained. She was recording videos on her phone and greeting his coaching team. At the end of the session, Leito hugged Sinner and later kissed him as they got out of a car together.
Sinner recently ended his relationship with Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya. His new romance with Leito comes as he prepares to return to competition.
Sinner’s suspension was due to two positive tests for clostebol. He is now focused on his comeback, with the Rome Masters 1000 being his first major tournament since the suspension.
