Jannik Sinner's Queen of Hearts: Who is the dashing stranger?

Small gestures often have a big impact: When Jannik Sinner left a heart under the photo of a stylish influencer in March, it didn't take long for the country's colorful newspapers to find out - wild speculation quickly followed. Is the shooting star that comes from the Journal of Sport was recently named Italy's most popular athlete, was it forgiven? A little later, the 19-year-old clarified himself: Yes, he has been in a relationship since September last year - with the girl named Maria Braccini.

“Maria and I are two young people who are having a great time together. Why should we share this with everyone?” Jannik Sinner But who is the dashing stranger at Sinner's side? Well, not much is known about Maria Braccini. Private is private - this is particularly important for Sinner, as he recently emphasized in an interview. “Maria and I are two young people who are having a great time together. Why should we share this with everyone?” replied the 19-year-old youngster when asked why there are no photos of the two together on social media. A weakness for dogs and tattoos However, some details about Sinner's queen of hearts have leaked. She was born in 2000 (and therefore a year older than the Sesto native) and apparently comes from Tuscany, where her mother runs a local company in the municipality of Montevarchi that specializes in home furnishings. Maria, who used to be a talented dancer, spends a lot of time in Florence, but mainly in Monte Carlo, where Sinner has been living for some time. The two met through the social network Instagram.

Braccini has over 60.000 followers on Instagram.

Speaking of Instagram: The South Tyrolean tennis star's lady of the heart is very successful on social media. She is followed by over 60.000 users, even if she has set the profile to private - so it is only visible if you make a request for it, which she has to accept. Not least because of her high number of followers, Maria is also referred to as an “influencer” by several media outlets. Braccini seems to have a weakness for dogs: in several photos - including the one under which Sinner left his "heart" - she is shown with her German Shepherd. And: She likes tattoos, although a snake behind her ear can definitely be described as the most striking skin accessory.

“She is the best person to walk this journey with me.” Jannik Sinner Sinner, who is currently spending a few relaxing days in South Tyrol before going to the French Open, is certainly very happy with his Maria. “It's nice to come home in the evening after a strenuous day or training and have someone there who takes care of you,” Sinner recently explained, describing his lady with the following words: “Maria is very loving and warm-hearted , but at the same time very independent – that is a quality that I really like in a woman.”

Maria Braccini is Jannik Sinner's girlfriend.

But above all, Sinner particularly appreciates one thing about his girlfriend. “She immediately adapted to my needs and knows that my priority is my sport, especially now that I am still at the beginning and have a lot to learn to become a champion. I invest my energy to achieve something important in my career and she stands by my side," explains Sinner, who also addresses his Maria in the final sentence with special words: "I believe that she is the best person to be with me to take this path.”
