Sinner, during the break trains... near home, at the Monte Carlo Country Club. Because he can do it

Jannik Sinner will be able to train at home, that is, at the Monte Carlo Country Club, but not during the tournament that, between the qualifications and the final, will be off limits from 5 to 13 April. The world number 1, who after the agreement with Wada for the Clostebol case will be able to return to competition at the Internazionali d'Italia in Rome from 7 May (the stoppage ends on the 4th), will carry out his preparation between the principality and Marbella, where he could move during the period in which the Country Club closes its doors to him. No private villa, therefore, no secret retreat for Jannik, because the Monegasque club is always private except during the period in which the Masters 1000 is played, and is not affiliated with the French Tennis Federation.

At first it seemed that Dubai would be the training location for Sinner, but the United States was also being looked at: Miami, where last year he won the 1000 title, rising to number 2 in the world, or California. The player, according to Wada regulations, will not have access to affiliated clubs until April 13, the date on which the ban will expire and the number 1 in the world will be able to resume frequenting registered sparring partners. Starting from mid-April, if he wants, Sinner will be able to return to normal life by also training with colleagues. He will probably choose those who have shown him greater closeness without hiding behind the usual clichés. A further screening compared to what was already done in New York, when on the eve of the US Open the news of his positive test and the acquittal without malice and negligence by Itia came out. After skiing at home to recharge his batteries with his family, and a bit of golf, the other sport where the world number 1 finds relaxation and concentration, Jannik arrived in Milan for Fashion Week . He attended the Gucci fashion show in the front row, for which he is global ambassador, next to Anna Wintour, historic director of Vogue America and a great tennis fan. Starting next week, Sinner will begin the physical and athletic preparation part that will occupy a large part of this first phase. With him there will be Marco Panichi, physical trainer, and Ulises Badio, the physiotherapist.
