US EditionFrench Open 2025: Doping Cases, Lingering Lawsuit, Players Seek More Slam Money and More to Know
- Jannik Sinner, a 23-year-old Italian tennis player, returns to compete at the French Open starting Sunday in Paris on red clay courts.
- Sinner received a three-month suspension after two separate tests in March 2024 detected a prohibited steroid, but was ultimately exonerated following a rare decision that attributed the contamination to accidental exposure by two of his team members.
- He recently reached the Italian Open final last weekend and holds three major trophies from the past five Grand Slams, including two Australian Opens and last season's U.S. Open.
- Sinner said, "It's all about being consistent and solid," and he hopes his performance in Rome will boost his confidence for the more rigorous best-of-five-set French Open matches.
- Despite expectations of a different crowd reception at Roland-Garros, both Sinner and Alexander Zverev say tennis fans "love" Sinner and he should not worry about local support favoring opponents.
