After three months out due to a doping ban, world number one Jannik Sinner is embraced by adoring fans at the Rome Masters, where Alex de Minaur also wins through.

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.

Jannik Sinner returned to the tennis court on Saturday at the Italian Open for the first time since the Australian Open in January. Sinner served a three-month ban from the sport in order to settle an anti-doping violation stemming from the star's two positive doping tests almost a year ago.
