Jannik Sinner has spoken publicly for the first time since his three-month suspension, which resulted from an agreement with WADA concerning the Clostebol case<\/a>. In an exclusive interview with Sky Sport Italy, the world No. 1<\/a> shared his feelings and activities during his time away from the courts:<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m very well, I’m rested. I’ve done many different things: I’ve spent a lot of time with my family, with my dad, I’ve gone go-karting and cycling with my friends in Monte Carlo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sinner’s Thoughts on the Suspension<\/h2>\n

Sinner emphasized the support he receives from those around him and his commitment to physical preparation:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people around me keep me going, I’m happy. If I could choose I would play tennis, but I’m working hard in the gym to be stronger and to be in better physical shape when I come back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Discussing the circumstances of his suspension<\/a>, Sinner expressed his perspective:<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt very calm, to be honest. It was very quick. Even though I didn’t really agree, I discussed it with my lawyer and those around me. In the end, you have to choose the lesser evil, even if it’s unfair. If we look at everything as a whole, it could have been worse and even more unfair.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anticipation for the Rome Tournament<\/h3>\n

Looking ahead, Sinner shared his enthusiasm for returning to competition in Rome<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI can’t wait. It’s a tournament that means a lot to me, very challenging but special. Coming back won’t be easy after this period, and there will be a lot of tension. But I’m happy, and I’m living my days calmly. All the questions will be answered there.\u201d<\/p>\n
