Jannik Sinner’s return from his three-month doping ban is a month away and Italian Open organizers can’t wait to welcome back the first home No. 1 player in the tournament’s history. “I’m expecting that he’s going to be swamped by the fans’ affection, so we’re going to have to make sure that things don’t get out of hand,” Angelo Binaghi, the president of the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation, said at the tournament’s presentation Wednesday. Sinner accepted his ban in February in a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency.
