Jannik Sinner Returns to ATP Tour, Competes in Hamburg After Doping Ban

World number one Jannik Sinner is set to return to tennis after serving a three-month doping ban, with plans to compete in the Italian Open from May 7-18 and the Hamburg Open from May 17-24. His doping ban, resulting from a positive test for the anabolic steroid clostebol, expires on May 4, just in time for these tournaments leading up to the French Open, which starts on May 25. This marks Sinner's first appearance at the Hamburg Open, and he is expected to draw significant attention as he aims to regain his competitive edge. Additionally, Sinner has made a management change, appointing Alex Vittur to oversee his business affairs after a transition from StarWing Sports CEO Lawrence Frankopan. The Hamburg tournament will provide vital clay-court match practice for Sinner as he prepares for the season's second Grand Slam event. The tennis community is keenly anticipating his performance upon his return.
