Video - The very warm welcome received by Sinner for his first training session in Rome
The name Jannik Sinner was on everyone's lips in the alleys of the Foro Italico this Monday.
With the suspension of the world No. 1 officially over, he first appeared at a press conference to share his thoughts ahead of his return to competition and his goals for the rest of the clay-court season.
Around 7 p.m., Sinner made his entrance onto the center court in Rome for his first training session of the week. On the other side of the net was Jiri Lehecka. In front of an audience that turned up for the occasion, the San Candido native received, unsurprisingly, a very warm welcome (see video below).
He will begin his tournament on Saturday by facing the winner of the match between Mariano Navone and Federico Cina.
