World number one tennis player Jannik Sinner has agreed to a three-month suspension following a positive doping test. The ban, settled with WADA, will prevent Sinner from competing from February 9 to May 4, 2025, but allows a return before the French Open.

World number one tennis player Jannik Sinner has accepted a three-month ban from the sport due to a doping violation. The ban was agreed upon following a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), as announced on Saturday.

According to WADA's statement, Sinner's suspension will span from February 9, 2025, to May 4, 2025. This ruling permits him to make a comeback just in time for the French Open, one of tennis's most prestigious tournaments.

The penalty follows a positive test for a prohibited substance last year, underscoring the sport's ongoing challenges with maintaining a clean competition environment.
