Carlos Alcaraz makes emphatic Jannik Sinner statement ahead of Italian Open return
Carlos Alcaraz is back in action at the Italian Open. The world No. 3 was forced to pull out of the recent Masters 1000 in Madrid after picking up two thigh injuries, but he’s now “100 per cent ready” to get going in Rome. And Alcaraz isn’t the only one making a comeback this week, as Jannik Sinner has returned from a three-month suspension.
The world No. 1 accepted the sanction as part of a case-resolution agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency in February. Earlier this week, Sinner admitted there were players he expected to hear from who didn’t reach out to him during his ban. But Alcaraz has now made his feelings very clear on his rival’s return, explaining how happy he is to see the three-time Grand Slam champion back in action.
