Holger Rune makes his feelings known on training with Jannik Sinner during Italian's 3-month doping ban
- Jannik Sinner, the Italian world no.1 tennis player, returns to competition at the 2025 Rome Masters after serving a three-month doping suspension starting February 9, 2025.
- The suspension arose after clostebol was detected in two separate samples collected in March 2024, with an independent panel clearing Sinner of fault or negligence, although WADA contested this decision before the matter was ultimately resolved through a settlement.
- Sinner enters the Rome Masters as top seed with a first-round bye and will face the winner between Mariano Navone or Federico Cina while acknowledging his body is not fully match-ready.
- Holger Rune mentioned that returning after a three-month break can be challenging and will require some time to regain form, but he remains confident in the player's ability to perform well. He also expressed that he enjoyed training with Sinner.
- Sinner's return boosts anticipation, given his recent Australian Open triumph, a relatively favorable draw, and ongoing debate over the ban's length and timing in relation to major tournaments.
