Jannik Sinner is still regaining his focus on the tennis court after his three-month doping ban. The top-ranked player overcame a brief lapse during the first set of a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Dutch qualifier Jesper De Jong in his second match back on tour at the Italian Open on Monday.

World No 1 Jannik Sinner returned to the match court on Saturday, after one of the most controversial doping bans of recent memory, and immediately reverted to winning ways.

The world No. 1 was rusty on his first match back after three months away. His Italian Open draw means he cannot afford to be so for long.
