Jannik Sinner could not have foreseen having to sit still at this stage of the season. A three-month stop - due to his recent agreement with WADA - which will lead him to have to make some important decisions to be ready for his return to action in May.

The controversial suspension of World No. 1 Jannik Sinner will keep him off the Tour for three months, prohibiting him from training at ATP or WTA facilities.

Jannik Sinner received a 3-month ban after testing positive for a banned substance, with the Italian initially refusing to accept he would face a suspension.

Sinner asked: "Why would we do that if the first independent tribunal found it was no ban at all, why would I accept three months now?"
