Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner is set to make his debut at the Hamburg Open this May, marking an important step in his preparations for the French Open. The tournament, scheduled from May 17 to May 24, will be Sinner’s first appearance in Hamburg and comes shortly after his return from a three-month suspension. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) had imposed the ban due to accidental contamination, which Sinner accepted in a settlement.
The Hamburg Open, a prestigious ATP 500 event, has a rich history and is returning to its traditional May slot after several years in July. Sinner’s participation is a significant addition to the tournament, as he becomes the first World No. 1 to compete there since Roger Federer in 2008. The event will also feature other top players, including Andrey Rublev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Holger Rune.
Sinner’s schedule is packed with high-profile tournaments upon his return. Before Hamburg, he will compete in the Italian Open, his home event, running from May 7 to May 18. Following Hamburg, he will head straight to Roland Garros for the French Open, which begins on May 25. This rigorous schedule reflects Sinner’s determination to maintain his top form and continue his dominance on the ATP Tour.
The Hamburg Open will provide Sinner with valuable match practice on clay courts, helping him fine-tune his game ahead of the French Open. His inclusion in the tournament is not only a boost for the event but also a testament to his commitment to excellence and his ability to overcome challenges. Fans and organizers alike are eagerly anticipating his performance in Hamburg, as he aims to add another chapter to his already impressive career.
