The first tournament that Jannik Sinner will play after his suspension will be the Rome Masters 1000, in which he will be welcomed as a hero by his home fans. The world No.1 who has never made it past the quarterfinals of this tournament had to miss last year's edition due to a hip injury.

There is no doubt that the Italian ace will clearly be the most awaited player at the Foro Italico, even more so after the three-month suspension that was inflicted on him after the agreement with WADA made official a week ago.
The 23-year-old from Sesto Pusteria will try to win the Rome Masters 1000 for the first time in his career and celebrate in front of his fans, as he did at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin in November 2024. In addition, the Foro Italico will be expanded starting from the 2025 edition and this will make the fan experience even more unforgettable.
Binaghi wants to welcome Sinner like a king
FITP president Angelo Binaghi who has always defended Jannik during this period has no intention of leaving anything to chance in view of the Rome tournament.

In an interview with 'Il Corriere della Sera', Binaghi revealed that he has a sensational idea in mind for Sinner's return to Rome in May.
"What will we prepare for his return to Rome? He will have the opportunity to play inside the 'Stadio dei Marmi' for the first time in history. There are many other Italian players besides him and it will be a magnificent event from all points of view. In addition, there will be a private suite for Jannik, a place that will be unreachable for everyone except him and his family. There he will be able to eat, rest and sleep. It will be his Fort Apache at the Foro Italico" explained Binaghi.
The 3-time Grand Slam champion will finish serving his suspension on May 4 and will have the opportunity to prepare well for the tournament in Rome, which will also serve as a test for Roland Garros.
