Jannik Sinner is gearing up for his return to tennis after a three-month doping ban, and he has just added a new tournament to his schedule. The World number 1 will compete in the Hamburg Open, a prestigious ATP 500 event, from May 17 to May 24.
This will be Sinner’s first appearance in Hamburg, and it’s a significant addition to the tournament, which has a rich history. Sinner would be the first World No. 1 to compete in Hamburg since Roger Federer in 2008. The event will also feature other top players, including Andrey Rublev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Holger Rune.
Sinner’s schedule is packed with high-profile tournaments upon his return. Before Hamburg, he will compete in the Italian Open, his home event, running from May 7 to May 18. Following Hamburg, he’ll head straight to Roland Garros for the French Open, which begins on May 25.
The Hamburg Open will provide Sinner with valuable match practice on clay courts, helping him fine-tune his game ahead of the French Open. His inclusion in the tournament is not only a boost for the event but also a testament to his commitment to excellence and his ability to overcome challenges.
