Still number one & 'sparring' with Draper - return of Sinner

When Jannik Sinner lifted the Australian Open trophy in late January, nobody knew we would not see him on a court again for over 100 days.

Three weeks after his third Grand Slam triumph it was announced the world number one had accepted a three-month ban for failing two doping tests in March 2024.

Sinner had been cleared of any wrongdoing by an independent panel after testing positive for the banned substance clostebol.

But the 23-year-old Italian was subsequently told he should bear responsibility "for [his] entourage's negligence" and received a suspension which ends on Sunday night.
