Jannik Sinner spoke with the press ahead of his return to professional tennis following a three-month ban. The US Open champion revealed the greatest emotion he has ever felt as a tennis player. The Italian has not played a competitive match since the Australian Open in January.

Jannik Sinner said he “didn’t feel at ease” during the Australian Open in January and considered taking a break from tennis after he was sanctioned for two anti-doping violations.

Jannik Sinner was considering taking a break from tennis earlier this year before he accepted a three-month ban in a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency.
