Jannik Sinner says it was "good news" for him personally not to miss any Grand Slam tournaments during his three-month doping ban.

The settlement in the doping case was made in February, after WADA appealed a decision last year by the International Tennis Integrity Agency to fully exonerate Sinner for what it deemed to be an accidental contamination by a banned anabolic steroid in March, 2024.

Jannik Sinner is back in Rome to relaunch his career following his three-month drugs ban. But although his suspension is over today, the sport remains split over the controversial treatment of the world No.1. Rafa Nadal and Jack Draper have spoken up in support of the Italian before he makes a hero’s return at the Rome Masters this week.
