DAZN television host Giusy Meloni swapped soccer for tennis as she attended Jannik Sinner’s victory against Andrea Pellegrino, 6-2, 6-3, to reach the quarterfinals at the Italian Open on Tuesday.
Meloni, who covers soccer for DAZN Italia, shared a carousel of Instagram photos and videos from the tournament in her native Rome.
One clip showed the top-seeded Sinner waving to the crowd at centre court after winning his 26th straight match as he closes in on a sixth consecutive ATP Masters 1000 title.
Sinner earned his 31st consecutive Masters 1000 win, tying Novak Djokovic for the longest winning streak in Masters history.
Another snapshot showed the 27-year-old Meloni sitting at a table in elevated seating at Foro Italicone, one of the most iconic clay-court venues in the world.
Meloni — a former actress and model, who has 735,000 Instagram followers — smiled for a photo that featured Sinner in the background, walking on the court after his win.
She is beloved for her fashion-forward style and behind the scenes content on match-day broadcasts.
Sinner beat Andrey Rublev in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, on Thursday, and will face the winner of Thursday’s Daniil Medvedev-Martin Landaluce match.
I’ts unclear whether Sinner’s girlfriend, Danish model Laila Hasanovic, attended this year’s Italian Open.
The 12-day tournament runs through Sunday.
