Italian Open form Jannik Sinner plan to ‘protect’ Italian on return from ban
Jannik Sinner will have his own “Fort Apache” to shield him from fans and fellow players when he makes his return to tennis at the Rome Masters next week. The world No.1’s three-month ban for twice testing positive to a banned substance last year will end on Sunday.
And the Italian superstar, currently training in Monte Carlo, plans to arrive in Rome on Monday to relaunch his career and begin his bid to win a third consecutive Grand Slam at the French Open. Sinner has not played since winning the Australian Open title on January 26.
