It's a courageous choice by Jannik," says Nargiso, former Italian player, on Ferrara's return to Sinner's team
Jannik Sinner will return to competition in early August at Cincinnati. Meanwhile, the world No. 1 has surprised the tennis world by rehiring Umberto Ferrara to his team.
The fitness coach, who was dismissed by Sinner following the doping scandal that erupted, has now reclaimed his place less than a year after the revelations.
In comments reported by *Tennis World Italia*, Diego Nargiso, a former Italian professional player, shared his thoughts on the decision made by the four-time Grand Slam champion:
"I was very surprised by his return to the team. It's a courageous choice by Jannik, and it confirms his determination—he knows how Umberto works and wants to continue down this path. His dismissal was more of a necessary decision than an intentional one.
Perhaps someone was negligent, but I know Umberto. He’s a very careful and scrupulous person, a true professional. Jannik wanted him back and to rise above the rumors and criticism from some envious voices.
