The next three months will be very important for Jannik Sinner, who will finally have to put his doping case behind him and work as hard as possible to shine again in May. His suspension from the professional tour began on February 9 and will last until May 4, allowing him to be present at the Rome Masters 1000 after missing the last edition due to a hip injury.

The 3-time Grand Slam champion has a very good chance of being at the top of the ATP rankingafter his return, given the recent eliminations of Alexander Zverev at the Rio Open and Carlos Alcaraz at the Doha ATP 500.
The 23-year-old Italian still has a significant margin over all his opponents, having confirmed his title at the Australian Open earlier this year.
It was not easy for Jannik to accept the agreement with WADA, but his team of lawyers explained to him that it was the best solution given the circumstances. No one can know what happened in front of the CAS in Lausanne in mid-April and the specter of being suspended for a year has led Sinner to digest this compromise.
Sinner will work on his body
The star from Sesto Pusteria will not be able to train in any facility affiliated with the tennis federations until April 13, but he seems to have already identified the location of his practice sessions.

According to reports from 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', the world number 1 will train at the Monte Carlo Country Club as he is not affiliated with FFT.
The only period in which he will not be able to practice there is during the period of the tournament, which will take place from April 6 to 13. In those days, the most likely hypothesis is that Jannik will move to Marbella together with all the members of his team.
After spending a few days skiing and participating in a Guccis event, the Italian ace will return to training next week and the work will be focused mainly on the athletic part together with his fitness coach Marco Panichi and his physio Ulises Badio.
