The Italian ace will face the American Marcos Giron in the next round, in a match in which he will try to improve some aspects of his game that did not fully satisfy him in the first two rounds. The 23-year-old from Sesto Pusteria is a perfectionist and loves working together with his team, which is becoming more and more cohesive after the events of last year.
In the second part of the 2024 season, Jannik had been forced to interrupt his professional relationship with Umberto Ferrara and Giacomo Naldi due to their responsibility in the doping case involving him.
The 2-time Grand Slam champion has hired Marco Panichi and Ulises Badio, who are doing their job with great professionalism and have got in perfect harmony with both Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill.

Sinner awaits the hearing
Recently, it was announced that the hearing before the CAS in Lausanne will take place in mid-April and Sinner is eager to know his fate. The world number 1 risks suffering a suspension of 1 to 2 years, but he has a clear conscience because he knows he is innocent and has done nothing wrong.
On the latest edition of the 'Indo Sport' podcast, renowned sports scientist Dr. Ross Tucker analyzed Jannik's doping case in detail: There is a chance that Sinner was using clostebol deliberately, knowing it is in the cream and knowing that if he is ever caught, he has got a ready-made defence from contamination because there has been a study that clears me.
He continued: So it is possible that it is just a really clever way of doping, but you cant prove that. So therefore you have to say the player is clear. Maybe CAS will explore some things that the initial decision didnt.
