Well, it seems Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner aren’t just rivals on the court, they’re apparently competing for love too! (Just kidding… or are we?) Fresh off his US Open victory over Sinner, 22-year-old Alcaraz has been crowned the king of New York, and it looks like he’s thriving off the court as well.

Earlier this year, Alcaraz was romantically linked to Emma Raducanu, though the British star made it clear they were ‘just good friends.’ But the world No. 1 now appears to have moved on; he’s reportedly seeing supermodel Brooks Nader. Yes, the same Brooks who was, only until a few days ago, rumored to be dating Sinner during the US Open. Confused yet? Fans definitely are, and the drama was just getting started.

Brooks Nader, 28, was spotted in the exclusive Cadillac Suite during the 2025 US Open, seated alongside comedian Stephen Colbert. This high-profile setting sparked rumors about her relationship with Carlos Alcaraz. Even on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Brooks teased the audience by saying, “Ask Stephen what match we were at. I don’t think he was playing in that one. You’re close, you’re warm,” hinting at her connection to a tennis player without directly confirming it, making fans speculate even more.

Speculation intensified as Brooks cheered for Alcaraz during his fourth-round match against Arthur Rinderknech at the US Open. But it seems her sister knew, as she confirmed it. Brooks’ sister, Grace Ann Nader, revealed the relationship during an interview at the Raising Cane’s New York Fashion Week show on September 10.

Grace Ann stated, “The rumors are true. Dating is such a loose term. But I do know he’s the man of the hour,” referring to Alcaraz. She also mentioned that while Brooks had introduced Carlos to two of their sisters, she had yet to meet him herself. So yes, Carlos Alcaraz is not just dominating the tennis court; he’s also making headlines in the romance department. However, it seems that this time, his fans aren’t entirely on board with his choice.

Tennis fans slam Brooks Nader over Carlos Alcaraz dating rumors

One fan commented, “She’s not his type,” while another wrote, “Fake, clout chaser.” Others chimed in, “Fake.” Clearly, many fans remain unconvinced until Carlos Alcaraz confirms it himself. However, Carlos, for his part, has often spoken about the challenges of dating while navigating a demanding professional tennis career. As he told last year, “I am single. I am looking for someone. It can be difficult as a tennis player to meet the right person because you are travelling all the time.” Throughout his journey, he has relied on his family for support during his career milestones. However, Brooks, the Louisiana-born model, was previously married to advertising mogul Billy Haire and later dated Gleb Shevchenko, her partner on the US edition of Dancing with the Stars, before splitting in April. For now, we still don’t know if these rumors are true!

Fans have not held back their opinions on the dating rumors, especially when it comes to Jannik Sinner. One wrote, “Would not gaf if this is true, but I’m almost 100% confident that these two have never interacted ever.” Another added, “She pretended she was dating Sinner last week but obviously switched up because Carlos won. What a loser.” Yet another commented, “Wasn’t she the one that acted like she was dating Sinner the other week? 😭 Had to change her target after his lock screen pics of Laila (Hasanovic) came out lmao.” Clearly, fans are skeptical. However, the chatter only intensified when Sinner himself stirred the pot, telling Corriere Della Sera at the start of the US Open that he was in love, without revealing a name.

Brooks Nader’s sister, Grace Ann, briefly fueled the rumors about Sinner while appearing on Page Six Radio, teasing that Nader had received multiple DMs from athletes and adding that his name “rhymes with winner.” Meanwhile, speculation also pointed to Danish model Laila Hasanovic, whose photo fans noticed on Sinner’s phone during the tournament. Adding to the intrigue, Brooks Nader appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, where the host asked if she had met her match in Sinner. In response, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model laughed nervously: “Is this like an interrogation? I’m so scared right now.” Between teasing comments, fan theories, Sinner’s cryptic remarks, and Carlos Alcaraz’s relationship status, the situation remains murky, leaving fans guessing and the internet buzzing.
