Jannik Sinner Rehires the Fitness Coach He Fired for Playing a Role in His Doping Case
AUSTRALIA, JUL 23 – Jannik Sinner rehired Umberto Ferrara after team changes, focusing on continuity and performance ahead of upcoming tournaments, including the Cincinnati Open.
- On Wednesday, Jannik Sinner confirmed the return of Umberto Ferrara, his previous fitness trainer, to his team as he prepares for upcoming competitions.
- Last year, Sinner ended his professional relationships with Umberto Ferrara and physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi following inquiries into his positive results for the banned substance clostebol.
- An independent tribunal acknowledged that the anabolic substance clostebol entered Sinner’s body unintentionally when physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi applied a treatment during the Indian Wells tournament in March 2024.
- Earlier this year, Sinner completed a three-month ban following an agreement reached with WADA in February, while the agency lodged an appeal last August against the tribunal’s decision that had cleared him of wrongdoing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
- Ferrara's return signals an emphasis on maintaining stability and enhancing performance as Sinner gets ready to defend his U.S. Open title and participate in the Cincinnati Open following his Wimbledon victory this month.
