Three months is a long enough time, which can allow Jannik Sinner to improve further from several points of view. The world No. 1 has not played since winning the Australian Open for the second time in a row, having decided to skip the Rotterdam ATP 500 and having reached an agreement with WADA just days before the Doha ATP 500.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport was set to hear the case in April, but on February 15, WADA announced Sinner had accepted a three-month suspension to settle the case. Since then, Sinner has been unable to compete in or attend any official tournament. He also cannot train at clubs or facilities affiliated with a tennis federation.

The nomination of Jannik Sinner for the Laureus sportsman of the year award has been withdrawn because of the top-ranked tennis player’s three-month ban for his two positive doping tests nearly a year ago.

I went down the rabbit hole and found this, a Wimbledon final won by default. The great Weller Evans recalled the 1969 U.S. Open between Rod Laver and Tony Roche. Owing to rain, the match was played on a Tuesday and even then, they used a helicopter to dry the grass court. Laver won (consecrating his second Grand Slam) while wearing track spikes.

The only period in which he will not be able to practice there is during the period of the tournament, which will take place from April 6 to 13. In those days, the most likely hypothesis is that Jannik will move to Marbella together with all the members of his team.

Jannik Sinner had obstacles thrown in his path during his suspension from tennis, but he has found a solution.
