Jannik Sinner enjoyed a winning return to tennis on Saturday after serving a three-month doping ban, as he defeated Mariano Navone in front of a rapturous crowd at his home Italian Open.

Switzerland’s Stan Wawrinka believes that the way Italy’s Jannik Sinner’s doping case has been handle has harmed the sports. The 23-year-old’s doping case has been under discussion ever since an agreement between him and the World Anti-Doping Agency ( WADA) for a three-month suspension for failing two dope tests for clostebol in March last year.

World number one Jannik Sinner was ecstatic after a victorious return following a three-month doping ban, with a 6–3 6–4 win over Argentina's Mariano Navone in the second round of the Italian Open.
