MUMBAI: A doctored photograph of Jannik Sinner is doing the rounds on social media. It is a close-up of the tennis world No. 1's eyes, with a steely look of unwavering focus. "There is a moment when silence gives way to the echo of a new beginning," reads a translation of the caption. "That time is now." The image was published by the Italian tennis federation.
For a player returning to the tennis tour after serving a three-month doping suspension, Sinner is being handed a hero's welcome at the Italian Open—his home event. Over ten thousand spectators had bought tickets to watch his first open practice session on Monday, which was broadcast live on Italian television. Later he was felicitated, along with the rest of the Italian Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup-winning teams.
As the three-time Grand Slam champion gets set to play his first professional match since the ban, on Saturday against Argentina's Mariano Navone, the rest of the tennis world remains shaken. The cause of the tension, though, has shifted. Earlier, it was because of the argument that Sinner got away with the entire doping episode lightly. But now that Sinner and Iga Swiatek—two high-profile players—have tested positive for dope, there is a cascading effect. The worry of being caught with a positive dope test has become all too real. "If I feel sick, I avoid taking anything because I'm afraid of testing positive later," said world No. 17 Andrey Rublev during Madrid Masters a fortnight ago. "I've become wary of taking medicine."

Where is everyone?
We've been searching for decades, but haven't found so much as a microbe in space yet. Could it be that we're early; that life simply has not evolved yet in the neighbourhood? Are we doing it all wrong? Is there a bustling universe of sentient beings out there, waiting for us to catch on? Humans are now beginning to build technology that could make the difference in our quest for alien life. We have a growing understanding of what to look for. We're getting better at sending probes to nearby planets, which could tell us more about where and how to search. What might we find? Why does it matter? Take a look

MF Husain: Man and myth, art and artist
M F Husain is undoubtedly India's best known and perhaps most highly regarded modern artist. As an editorial in this newspaper put it last week, he is \"arguably the most inventive artist of Indian modernism\". This is why it's not just sad but upsetting that an MF Husain museum will open next month in Doha and not in the country of his birth.
