Jannik Sinner Set for Italian Open Comeback

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner is set to return to competition at the Italian Open on May 4 after a brief absence due to injury, not a doping suspension as previously reported. Sinner last played competitively when he defended his Australian Open title in January. During his recovery, he was unable to train fully with his coaches until mid-April but maintained his fitness and focus through alternative activities and individual routines. He retained his top ATP ranking after Alexander Zverev's early exit in Monte Carlo. Sinner has highlighted personal growth and renewed determination during his time away and will return in front of a supportive home crowd in Rome. While some uncertainty remains about his immediate form, experts like Andy Roddick express confidence in his long-term prospects.
