Jannik Sinner returns to action at the Italian Open after the conclusion of the World No 1’s three-month doping ban. Sinner has not played since winning the Australian Open in January for his third grand slam title after the Italian reached a resolution agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

The settlement in the doping case was made in February, after WADA appealed a decision last year by the International Tennis Integrity Agency to fully exonerate Sinner for what it deemed to be an accidental contamination by a banned anabolic steroid in March, 2024.

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner is set to return to action at the Rome Masters after a three-month hiatus, delivering a strong message to his rivals before stepping back onto the court.
