Training Under Threat: Sinner Faces Issues with Practice Venue

Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner has encountered yet another hurdle complicating his preparation for the Rome Masters series tournament. After attending an elite fashion gala in Milan and taking a brief break during which he went skiing and played golf, Sinner planned to resume full-scale training. However, his plans have been jeopardized due to the rules of the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA).

Details: The world number one was hoping to train at the prestigious Monte-Carlo Country Club, but it turns out that this club is affiliated with the French and Monegasque tennis federations, and according to ITIA regulations, athletes under sanctions are not permitted to train at such venues.

Now, the tennis star must find an alternative facility to maintain the high level of play that has allowed him to dominate the Tour.

Reminder: Due to a positive doping test, Sinner has been suspended for three months and will lose 2,100 ranking points. Notably, he is likely to remain the world number one until his return.
