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 terms meant the men's world No. 1 would accept a three-month ban, starting on 9th February and finishing in time for Sinner to compete on home soil at the Italian Open, with a run-up to the second Grand Slam of the year at Roland-Garros.

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.
