Jannik Sinner said it was an “amazing feeling” to be back on court after beating Argentina’s Mariano Navone at the Italian Open in the first match since his doping ban. The 6-3 6-4 victory was the world number one’s 22nd in a row - a streak interrupted by the three-month suspension he agreed with the World Anti Doping Agency (Wada).

After three months out due to a doping ban, world number one Jannik Sinner is embraced by adoring fans at the Rome Masters, where Alex de Minaur also wins through.
