Venus Williams confirms she is engaged to actor Andrea Preti parimatch cricket betting app

has reappointed fitness coach Umberto Ferrara to his coaching team having previously dropped Ferrara during Sinner’s recent doping suspension.

Sinner served a three-month ban earlier this year after twice testing positive for banned substance Clostebol, an anabolic steroid, in March last year.

The Italian previously escaped a ban when the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) ruled that he wasn’t at fault for the positive tests, accepting that the contamination was caused by a physio applying an over-the-counter spray to their own skin – not Sinner’s – to treat a small wound.

However, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) subsequently lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), leading to Sinner accepting a suspension from February 9 to May 4. The ban began just weeks after he won his third grand slam title at the Australian Open and ended before the French Open.

Ferrara – as well as physio Giacomo Naldi – was let go in the aftermath of the ban’s announcement but on Wednesday, a statement from Sinner’s management team said he’d be rehired “with immediate effect.”

“Umberto has played an important role in Jannik’s development to date, and his return reflects a renewed focus on continuity and performance at the highest level,” the statement sent to CNN Sports said.
