Jannik Sinner Approaches Italian Open with Caution After Doping Ban

Jannik Sinner's Return to Tennis

Jannik Sinner, currently ranked as the world's top tennis player, shared on Monday that he is entering the Italian Open with modest expectations. This comes as he makes his return to the sport following a three-month suspension due to a doping violation.

In February, Sinner reached an agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency, which led to his immediate three-month ban. The suspension was a result of the anabolic substance clostebol being found in his system, which was determined to have entered through massages administered by his physiotherapist.
