The first was the three-month suspension imposed on him by WADA between February and May, which could have had very negative consequences for the Italian star’s mind. He was forced to stay away from the professional tour and was unable to practice at an affiliated club, as well as missing four Masters 1000 and other tournaments.
It wasn’t easy for the former world number 1 to get through that period, but the support of his family and team was crucial in allowing him to move forward with his head held high. The 24-year-old from Sesto Pusteria has never stopped playing his best tennis and reached the final in Rome immediately after his return. He played another exceptional season that saw him finish near the top of the ATP rankings.
Trevisan speaks of Sinner
Another moment that could have negatively affected his 2025 was the mocking defeat against his great rival Carlos Alcaraz in the Roland Garros final. Jannik was ahead two sets to nil and had three match points in a row, but he could not complete the feat and had to surrender in five sets at the end of the longest final in the history of the French Slam. Despite that horrific disappointment, he recharged his batteries and triumphed for the first time at the Wimbledon Championships a few weeks later.
In a recent interview with ‘Fanpage’, Italian star Martina Trevisan highlighted Sinner’s mental strength: “He is in a fortified position because of his status. What surprised me most was his reaction to the defeat at Roland Garros, in which he lost a significant lead, including three match points. I think he has done incredible mental work to chase away the ghosts and be ready for Wimbledon, which starts just a few weeks later.”
Jannik became the first Italian player ever to lift the trophy at Church Road. He also won the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin for the second time in a row.
