World No 1 Jannik Sinner returns to action at the Italian Open this evening following the conclusion of his three-month doping ban.

Sinner has not played since winning the Australian Open in January for his third Grand Slam title after the Italian reached a resolution agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

He is now raring to return at his home tournament in Rome as he looks to build towards the next grand slam at the French Open later this month.

After receiving Sinner a bye to the second round as top seed, he will be welcomed back by Argentine player Mariano Navone in his opening match of the tournament, who beat Sinner’s countryman Federico Cina in straight sets in the first round.
