Brooks Nader's Tease: Dating Tennis Star or Just Playing Hard to Get?

Model Brooks Nader, 28, has hinted that she is dating a tennis star after her US Open visit

Tennis Romance Alert!

Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader has been dropping subtle hints that she's dating a tennis star, leaving fans guessing about her love life. The 28-year-old beauty was put on the spot by Jimmy Kimmel during an appearance on his late-night talk show this week.

Kimmel showed Nader a photo of herself in the stands at the US Open in New York, where she was sitting alongside comedian Stephen Colbert, and playfully asked if she's dating Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner. But instead of confirming or denying the rumors, Nader responded with a clever dodge: "Is this like an interrogation? I'm so scared right now! Oh my god."

Kimmel joked that he had her under oath, but Nader refused to spill the beans about her love life. She simply said, "Ask Stephen what match we were at. I don't think he was playing in that one." Kimmel's follow-up question - "Oh, I see. So it's somebody else?" - left fans wondering if Nader is indeed dating a different tennis star.

The model has been linked to several athletes since her split from Gleb Savchenko in April this year. Her sister, Grace, recently revealed that sports stars were flocking to take Brooks out on dates, and while she didn't name names, she did say that the player who messaged her had a name that "rhymes with winner." The clue has sparked speculation about several tennis stars, but one name keeps popping up: Carlos Alcaraz.

The 22-year-old Spanish tennis star has been making waves in the world of tennis this season, and he's believed to be single after his split from British tennis star Emma Raducanu. But could Brooks Nader be his new partner? The two were spotted together at the US Open last Sunday, where they watched a match between Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.

Meanwhile, Sinner is also single after his split from Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya earlier this year. He's currently the favorite to win the US Open title, but could Brooks Nader be distracting him from his game? The two men could meet in the final on Sunday, but for now, fans are just speculating about their love lives.
