Overview

• Jannik Sinner has officially returned to competitive tennis at the Internazionali di Roma after serving a three-month WADA suspension for a Clostebol doping case.
• The suspension not only barred Sinner from competing but also prohibited him from attending any professional sporting events, a restriction he described as particularly challenging.
• Sinner’s immediate goal in Rome is to pass the first round, with his primary focus set on achieving strong results at the upcoming Roland Garros tournament in Paris.
• Approximately 5,000–6,000 spectators attended his practice session at Rome's Foro Italico, showcasing significant public support for his return.
• During his suspension, Sinner relied on close family and friends for support, maintaining limited contact with fellow players, and has emphasized feeling physically and mentally prepared for competition.
