Reports: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner Linked to Same Model During US Open

Reports published after the US Open say world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and No. 2 Jannik Sinner were both romantically linked to Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader during the tournament, a development that drew attention as the two men met in the final at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Alcaraz defeated Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the championship match to reclaim the top ranking and win his sixth Grand Slam title, his second at the US Open. The victory left Alcaraz with the title and the tournament’s winner’s prize; it was the third successive Grand Slam final contested by the pair following the French Open and Wimbledon.

The dating reports first circulated through Page Six and were carried by multiple outlets. Those reports said Nader — who has modelled for Sports Illustrated and attended several sessions at Flushing Meadows — had been linked to Sinner previously and was seen at matches involving Alcaraz during the event.

Nader has publicly denied some past dating suggestions. According to media reports, she pushed back on claims about Sinner during an appearance on a late-night talk show after her sister, Grace Ann, had earlier hinted at a connection in interviews. Grace Ann later told E! News that the “rumours are true” regarding Nader and Alcaraz, saying she regarded Alcaraz as “the man of the hour.”

At the same time, accounts attributed to sources close to Alcaraz have downplayed any formal relationship, and Spanish television coverage cited a journalist who said Alcaraz’s inner circle described him as single and not pursuing a serious relationship. The various reports did not include contemporaneous statements from the players or from Nader’s representatives.

Nader has been publicly single since April, when media reported she and dancer Gleb Savchenko split following their on‑screen pairing on Dancing With the Stars. Alcaraz has also been the subject of past relationship speculation; his mixed-doubles pairing with British player Emma Raducanu earlier in the season generated questions that Raducanu dismissed, saying they were “just good friends.”

The alleged off-court links come amid an intensifying sporting rivalry between Alcaraz and Sinner, who have met in successive major finals and continue to trade the top rankings. Media coverage of personal relationships has been separate from the players’ on-court competition, and neither Open-era tennis authorities nor the tournament issued statements regarding the reports.
