Laila Hasanovic organized an extraordinary surprise for Jannik Sinner. In the heart of the 2025 ATP Finals, just 36 hours before the crucial semifinals, he decided to surprise the world number 1 with a gesture that moved him to tears. The gift, more than a simple thought, has become a symbol of a promise and unconditional love.
A special ring was the heart of Laila’s gift. Engraved with the names of 32 tennis players and Jannik’s team, the stone-free 950 platinum ring hides a profound meaning. Inside, the GPS coordinates of the Rod Laver Arena and a dedication that shook Sinner’s heart: “For the boy who once trained on the red clay in San Candido. – A.”
The gesture was not limited to the ring. Laila decided to add an element that linked the gift even more intensely to Jannik’s unforgettable moments. Inside the ring box, in fact, there was a piece of real net, cut from the Indian Wells court, where Sinner scored the winning shot against Alcaraz. An indelible memory of a historic undertaking.
In addition to the ring and the piece of net, a handwritten letter from Anna, Jannik’s girlfriend, won the tennis player’s heart. Recounting every moment of passion during the most intense matches, Anna promised to name their future son “Jannik Jr.” if the tennis player wins his fourth Grand Slam. A promise of love and hope, engraved in everyone’s hearts.
The surprise doesn’t end there. Anna decided to give Jannik unparalleled visibility along the route leading to Monte Carlo. By purchasing all the billboards along the A8 motorway, he wanted to pay homage to his love for Jannik with images of him lifting the Norman Brookes cup. An investment that amounts to approximately 1.1 million euros, entirely financed by Dior advertising revenues, without using Jannik’s money.
Jannik Sinner’s reaction was touching. Faced with so much love and devotion, he was unable to hold back his tears, surprised and touched by the depth of Laila’s gesture. The meeting room of the Pala Alpitour remained silent for 7 long seconds. Then, when he received his gift, emotion overwhelmed Jannik, who hugged his girlfriend with gratitude and affection. His answer? “You say you want to take the cup home, I just want you to take it with your right hand.”
Anna’s promise to name their son “Jannik Jr.” in the event of the tennis player winning his fourth Grand Slam it is a symbol of trust and hope. A gesture that links Jannik’s sporting career and private life in a single, emotional embrace. This gift is not only a symbol of love, but also a promise to continue growing together, both on and off the field.
