French Open 2025: Jannik Sinner Returns to Grand Slam Tennis After His Doping Ban
- Jannik Sinner, a 23-year-old Italian tennis player, returns to compete at the French Open starting Sunday in Paris.
- He returns after serving a short doping ban in 2024, which followed two positive tests for a banned steroid that he attributed to accidental exposure by his team.
- Sinner previously reached the French Open semifinals last year, losing to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz after leading two sets to one, and recently reached the Italian Open final in his comeback.
- Sinner said at a Roland-Garros news conference, "It's all about being consistent and solid," and Zverev expects him to be welcomed warmly despite potential home crowd support for local players.
- Maintaining the ATP No. 1 ranking since the ban, Sinner’s participation at the French Open marks a key step in his effort to sustain top-level performance amid added pressure of best-of-five-set matches.
