Tennis World No. 1 Jannik Sinner took a brief detour from his grass-court preparations to enjoy some high-profile celebrations over the weekend. The Italian superstar traveled to the South of France to attend the glamorous wedding celebration of his close friend, Olympic pole vault champion Armand “Mondo” Duplantis, and lifestyle influencer Desire Inglander (now Duplantis) held at the historic Chateau de Castellaras near Cannes. Sinner attended the wedding with his girlfriend Laila Hasanovic, who is a Danish model.

The Love Story Behind Armand Duplantis And Desire Inglander’s Wedding
The beautiful ceremony in France marks the conclusion of a classic modern love story that began back in the summer of 2020. Duplantis first spotted Inglander at a traditional Midsummer party in Stockholm, right after she had finished high school.
While the Swedish-American pole vaulter was instantly captivated and reached out over social media, Inglander initially hesitated before agreeing to a proper dinner date. Their relationship quickly blossomed despite long-distance training schedules, with Inglander becoming a viral fan-favorite while cheering Duplantis on through multiple world records and Olympic gold medals.
Following a romantic beachside proposal in the Hamptons in October 2024, and a quiet, legal civil ceremony in Stockholm earlier this March, the couple finally exchanged vows in front of their closest friends and family under the gorgeous Mediterranean sun.

Sinner who wore a classic black tuxedo found himself in exceptional company as he mingled with Duplantis’ inner circle, which included top-tier Olympic track and field champions and pole-vaulting legends such as Emmanouil Karalis of Greece, Australia’s Kurtis Marschall, and American star Sam Kendricks.

Jannik Sinner’s Next Tournament
Now that the wedding festivities are over, Sinner locks in his focus for the green grass of SW19. The World No.1 is entering the Wimbledon 2026 with massive expectations resting on his shoulders, following his second-round exit at the French Open against Juan Manuel Cerundolo.
Sinner heads to London not just as a top contender but as the tournament’s reigning, defending champion. After reaching the quarter-finals in 2022 and the semi-finals in 2023, Sinner made history in 2025 by winning his first-ever Wimbledon singles title, defeating Novak Djokovic to become the first Italian player to ever lift the historic trophy. He currently holds an impressive 20-4 career win-loss record on the grass of the All England Club.
