Overview

• Italian physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi gave his first public interview since the 2024 Indian Wells positives, speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport on September 25.
• Naldi said the trace likely came from a glove-free massage he performed while he had a finger wound treated with a clostebol-based product.
• He stated he holds no resentment toward Jannik Sinner, described a cordial reunion on tour, and complained about misattributed quotes that fueled online hostility.
• Naldi has returned to the circuit working with fellow Italian Francesco Passaro and said players and staff welcomed him back, noting a kind gesture from Carlos Alcaraz.
• Sinner has kept Argentine Alejandro Resnicoff in Naldi’s former role, and trainer Umberto Ferrara, initially dismissed after the case, rejoined the team in July 2025.
