Overview

  • On July 23, Sinner announced the immediate rehiring of Umberto Ferrara as his fitness coach with full backing from his management team.
  • The move is designed to restore training continuity after his Wimbledon victory as he prepares for the Cincinnati Open and US Open.
  • Ferrara was originally dismissed in mid-2024 after supplying an over-the-counter spray that led to Sinner’s accidental clostebol contamination.
  • Sinner served a three-month ban agreed with WADA from February to May, then returned to reach the French Open final and claim his first Wimbledon title.
  • The decision follows his summer split with Marco Panichi and physiotherapist Ulises Badio before Wimbledon, marking another reshuffle of his support staff.
