Jannik Sinner’s First Practice Session Draws Attention (Photograph - X)
Tennis star Jannik Sinner has marked his appearance at his first official practice session ahead of the forthcoming ATP tournaments. The star player was seen waiting patiently in line and not breaching any code of conduct. This incident marks his first-ever practice session amid a doping ban.
The fans were ecstatic after he was spotted with fellow countryman Matteo Berrettini. The video of his appearance for the practice session has widely been shared on social media. The Italian sensation has already won the Australian Open 2025 and would be looking to win the French Open 2025, slated to take place in the last week of May.
He is still currently world number one despite not having played the Qatar Open, ABN AMRO Open, Indian Wells, Miami Open, Monte Carlo, and the ongoing Barcelona Open. Despite that, he will be keen to stage his comeback as he enters his last month of suspension. All eyes are set on him as fans are eager to see how far this three-time Grand Slam champion can go.

Serena Williams breaks silence on Jannik Sinner's doping ban
Meanwhile, legendary player Serena Williams has been making bold headlines with her audacious claim on Sinner's ban. The former world number one stated that she would have faced a ban for 20 years if she were there in place of Jannik Sinner. Williams' comments spark big controversy in the tennis fraternity, with mixed reactions from fans.
“I love the guy, love this game… He’s great for the sport. I’ve been put down so much, I don’t want to bring anyone down. Men’s tennis needs him. (But) if I did that, I would have gotten 20 years. Let’s be honest. I would have gotten Grand Slams taken away from me,” Serena said in an interview with Time Magazine.
