Jannik Sinner is still regaining his focus on the tennis court after his three-month doping ban. The world No. 1 overcame a brief lapse during the first set of a 6-4, 6-2 victory over No. 93 Dutch qualifier Jesper De Jong in his second match back on tour in front of his home crowd at the Italian Open on Monday.

Jannik Sinner is gearing up for the first true test of his pre-Roland Garros form after after cruising into the last 16 of the Italian Open on Monday (Tuesday Manila time), as Aryna Sabalenka's bid for a first Rome title continued with a straight-sets win over Marta Kostyuk.

Sinner is Italy's chosen one. At the Foro Italico in Rome, his comeback from an anti-doping ban overtakes all else in tennis.
