The last twelve months have been particularly brilliant for Jannik Sinner on the tennis court, where he has lifted nine trophies suffering only six defeats from January 2024 to date. However, the world No. 1 has also been plagued by the doping case that involved him and which ended last month with the agreement with WADA.

The 23-year-old Italian was suspended from the professional tour for three months (from February 9 to May 4) and avoided getting to the trial before the CAS in Lausanne, where he could have been acquitted or suffered a ban of 1 to 2 years.
Although he was totally acquitted by an independent court in the first instance, the 3-time Grand Slam champion preferred this compromise on the advice of his legal teams.
The star from Sesto Pusteria will be able to return to action at the Rome Masters 1000 in May and it was announced yesterday that he will also play the Hamburg ATP 500 before Roland Garros.
This decision is not surprising, considering that Jannik has not played since winning the Australian Open for the second year in a row.

Among fans and insiders, many believe that Sinner can complete the 'Calendar Grand Slam' as early as this year if he does not have injuries.
Cahill could leave earlier than expected
At the end of this year, the world number 1 will have to manage a big change in his team. As had already been anticipated during the AO, Darren Cahill who was instrumental in the Italian's rise alongside Simone Vagnozzi has decided to leave his role at the end of the 2025 season to spend more time with his family.
However - according to what was revealed by 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' - it seems that the legendary Australian coach could say goodbye to Jannik's team before the end of this year.
Vagnozzi - on the other hand - is destined to remain Sinner's coach, but he will not be the only one. Recently, Italian legend Paolo Bertolucci confided to Adriano Panatta that the world No.1 has already chosen Cahill's replacement for next year (without revealing the name).
