Jannik Sinner will return to practice at the beginning of next week, after his agreement with WADA was made official, which provides for a three-month suspension.
The world number 1 left Doha immediately after that news was announced and spent a few days resting in Dubai, before going skiing in Sesto Pusteria.
The Italian ace has also participated in a Guccis event in recent days and seemed calm, despite being very disappointed not to be able to play until May.
The 23-year-old from Sesto Pusteria preferred to avoid going to the trial before the CAS in Lausanne, accepting the agreement proposed by WADA which pushed for a suspension of one to two years. The 3-time Grand Slam champion is almost certain to remain at the top of the ATP ranking despite this ban and will not miss a single Major tournament, as his suspension will end on May 4.
In this long period, Jannik has grown a lot as a person and has understood who his true friends are. Many players have harshly attacked him and claimed that he was treated differently from others, while other tennis players such as Matteo Berrettini and Casper Ruud have always defended him.
Sinner wants to keep his best shape
Fans wonder how Sinner will work during this period.
In a long interview with 'Sky Sport Italy', his fitness coach Marco Panichi - who has been working with him since the last part of the 2024 season - provided some important information in this regard.
The fact that we have so much time is almost like planning for a track and field season. In such a long period of time, we can definitely go more deeply into features and conditions that we want to improve Panichi explained.
He also added: We are talking about small things because these Formula 1 machines are already highly evolved, but the fact remains that still from a motivational point of view it is an important boost to know that we can devote so much time to certain things.
Its going to be a new experience, and Im grateful, although I dont want such a situation, that I can have all this time on my hands.
