Alcaraz First, Then Sinner: How Rumors Erupted After the Final
Timeline of the rumors: Alcaraz’s victory in the final against Sinner coincided with chatter about his romance with Nader.

The reporting painted a picture of a love triangle that refused to stay on the court, fueling fan theories and late-night headlines.
The Insider’s Claim: Brooks Nader’s ‘Agenda’ Is Drama, Not Romance
An insider close to Nader offered a stark view of the model’s ‘agenda.’ The source said: “Brooks’ agenda, now, is to be connected to every story, relationship or drama as much as possible — as she wants to sell her show and have people continue to watch and continue her quest to be a huge reality star.” The article adds that she wants to be single and “ready to mingle,” enjoying the adrenaline of being talked about. She reportedly craved drama like the high of past relationships, describing herself as addicted to the attention. “She’s out for herself. And with that, if she dates around, she continues to get what she wants and that is to be in the news. That is more important to her than to have a full-fledged relationship right now.” And she is “enjoying being the female Pete Davidson.”
Media Swirl: From Jimmy Kimmel to No Somos Nadie—Who’s Saying What
The dating rumors began after Nader’s sister, Grace Ann, claimed an athlete whose name rhymes with ‘winner’ had DM’d her just days before the US Open. Nader appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and refused to confirm or deny dating Sinner, quipping that the moment felt like an interrogation and that she was in the stands by coincidence. A few days later, Grace said the rumors were true about the romance with Carlos. Yet a Spanish journalist on the show No Somos Nadie countered, saying they were not dating and that Alcaraz had told those close to him he was single. The saga shows how quickly rumors can outpace verification in the modern media cycle.
Where It Stands Now: Single Stars, Supposed Beaus, and the Cost of Fame
Nader is single after a breakup with Gleb Savchenko in April; the pair met on Dancing with the Stars. Alcaraz, 22, is believed to be single and has also been linked with Emma Raducanu, with reports they played a mixed-doubles event before the US Open. Sinner is also single after a split from Anna Kalinskaya. The story underscores how rumors circulate in the worlds of sport and celebrity, and how the truth can be obscured by the glare of cameras and headlines.
