Overview

• Sinner’s camp announced Umberto Ferrara’s immediate return to the team as preparation ramps up for the Cincinnati Open and US Open.
• Ferrara was dismissed last year after supplying a spray that led to Sinner’s clostebol contamination, but an independent tribunal cleared the player of fault or negligence.
• Under a WADA agreement reached this February, Sinner served a three-month ban following WADA’s appeal to CAS over the tribunal ruling.
• Since returning in May, Sinner reached the French Open final and claimed his first Wimbledon title while reshuffling his support staff.
• The coach U-turn has drawn criticism from peers like Nick Kyrgios and fuels debate over anti-doping governance and athlete accountability.
