Jannik Sinner, winner of the 2024 ATP Finals, champion of three Grand Slam tournaments, and current leader of the ATP men’s ranking, commented on the end of his three-month suspension for doping.

What's missing is the complete feedback of where my level is. That's going to come then slowly with the time of playing, after the first round match I'm going to have a good picture of myself — where I am at. I was in a tough situation and in the beginning of the Australian Open I struggled a lot. So, it was nice also to take a small break. But I could feel that I'm not playing for quite a long time. The body still has to adjust, the blisters in hands come again because you're not used to it anymore.
The 23-year-old Sinner's ban for testing positive for the banned steroid clenbuterol ended on May 4. His home tournament in the Masters series in Rome will start on May 7. In the second round, Sinner will face either fellow Italian Federico Cinà or Argentine Mariano Navone.
