Jannik Sinner ‘would sound very arrogant’ as Italian addresses feelings during ban
Jannik Sinner has opened up on the feelings of doubt he experienced while serving a three-month ban. The world No. 1 accepted the suspension as part of a case-resolution agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency in February and made his long-awaited return at the Italian Open on Saturday night. It looked as though he never left, as he breezed past Mariano Navone 6-3 6-4.
Before coming off the tour to serve his suspension, Sinner was on a lengthy winning streak, not losing a match since early October. But he confessed that he still questioned whether he could get back to winning ways, saying it “would sound very arrogant” not to.
