Overview

  • Avima confirmed that Umberto Ferrara is back as Sinner’s physical trainer with immediate effect.
  • The move ends Sinner’s collaborations with Marco Panichi and Ulises Badio, who had filled those roles since his anti-doping suspension.
  • Sinner maintains that his positive clostebol tests in 2024 were due to accidental contamination during a teammate’s massage.
  • The World Anti-Doping Agency accepted that explanation and imposed a three-month ban, which Sinner served from February to May.
  • Sinner plans to train in Monte Carlo with Ferrara as he aims for a second Cincinnati Masters title and to defend his US Open crown.
