The world number 1 will miss six tournaments in this time frame and it was certainly not the ideal solution for him, given that he had been totally acquitted in the first instance by an independent court.
However, it would have been too risky for the Italian to get to trial before the CAS in Lausanne and a one-year suspension would have represented a huge boulder.
Advised by his team of lawyers, the 23-year-old from Sesto Pusteria understood that three months of suspension was an acceptable compromise, especially in a period in which no Grand Slam tournament is played. His return will take place at the Rome Masters 1000, where he will be able to play in front of his fans and will be able to prepare well for Roland Garros.

In addition, the latest results of Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz have made it extremely likely that Jannik will remain at the top of the ATP rankinguntil his return.
Huge update onSinner
As everyone knows, the 3-time Grand Slam champion will not be able to practice in any affiliated facility until April 13 but can be supported by members of his team.
Yesterday, 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' had reported that Sinner would train at the Monte Carlo Country Club during this period as he was not affiliated with the French federation.
In the days of the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 - according to reports from 'La Gazzetta' - the world number 1 would have moved to Marbella.
However, the Monte Carlo Country Club has denied this rumor through an official note.
"The Monte Carlo Country Club is affiliated to both the French and Monegasque federations. Despite being a private club, it is not exempt from the membership requirement.

This club is affiliated to the Monegasque federation because it is the Club of the Principality, while it is affiliated to FFT because it is built on French territory in Roquebrune Cape Martin" says the press release.
