Sinner’s 100-Day Comeback

After a 100-day hiatus, due to a doping suspension, world number one Jannik Sinner stepped back onto the tennis court at the Rome Masters 1000. The Italian ace, who has held the top spot for 48 consecutive weeks, faced Argentine Mariano Navone in his eagerly awaited return.

Siller’s Masterful Performance

Despite his long layoff, Sinner displayed his characteristic solid tennis, combining defensive brilliance with precise passing shots and drop shots to delight the Roman crowd. After 1 hour and 38 minutes of action, the top seed secured a 6-3, 6-4 victory, extending his winning streak to 22 matches.

It felt fantastic to be back on the court. I was a bit nervous at the start, but I’m happy with how I played.” – Jannik Sinner

This win keeps Sinner’s fantastic run of consecrations going, adding another victory to his string of successes at the M1000 in Shanghai, the ATP Finals in Turin, the Davis Cup, and the Australian Open.
