Tennis star Jannik Sinner is one of the best players in the current era. The world number one has already staged his comeback on the official courts, where he was seen practising with Jack Draper in Monte Carlo to begin his preparation for the upcoming ATP tournaments.

The world number one had a great start to the year as he won the Australian Open 2025 after a stellar win over Alexander Zverev in the final showdown. Thereafter, he opted out of the ABN AMRO Open 2025, citing fatigue reasons. Tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz wins the tournament in Sinner's absence.

However, his stint was cut short after he suffered a three-month suspension ban for his doping tests from last year. The 23-year-old star player's ban started on February 9, and he seems to be patiently waiting for his comeback.

The star player has missed the Qatar Open 2025, Indian Wells 2025, Miami Open 2025, Monte Carlo Masters 2025, and the ongoing Barcelona Open 2025 and will be missing the upcoming Mutua Madrid Open 2025 until his suspension is over on May 4.
