Sinner Ups Level To Reach Q-Finals

World No. 1 pleased with form after doping ban, will face Ruud next at Italian Open
-
ROME – Jannik Sinner came through the first true test of his comeback from a doping ban with a straight-sets win over Francisco Cerundolo on May 13, which took the world No. 1 into the Italian Open quarter-finals.
The Italian star defeated 17th seed Cerundolo of Argentina 7-6 (7-2), 6-3 in a match which was delayed by a couple of hours due to a torrential downpour, to set up a last-eight clash with Madrid Open champion Casper Ruud, who saw off Jaume Munar 6-3, 6-4 on May 14.
Cerundolo knocked out Sinner in the last 16 the last time he played here in 2023, but that was before the 23-year-old became the tournament-winning machine he is today.
Sinner is finding his feet in Rome, his first tournament since the end of a three-month suspension sanctioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) following two positive tests for traces of clostebol in March 2024.
His true target is the French Open, which follows his home event, and he showed some signs of rediscovering the form which has won him three Grand Slams and the 2024 ATP Finals.
