World number one Jannik Sinner continues his return from a doping ban with a comfortable 6-4 6-2 victory over Jesper de Jong to reach the last 16 of the Italian Open.

Top-ranked Jannik Sinner passed a big test in his return from a three-month doping ban, beating accomplished clay-court player Francisco Cerundolo 7-6 (2), 6-3 on Tuesday to reach the Italian Open quarterfinals.

It was hard to imagine that Jannik Sinner would play at such a high level already in his first tournament after his return to the professional tour.

Sinner dominates the head-to-head. He’s 3-0 vs. Ruud, he’s won all six of sets, and he’s not letting the gap narrow. Sinner won their most recent match, on indoor hard courts at the ATP Finals last fall, 6-1 6-2. Even Ruud had to admit that he “gotten beaten pretty bad by Jannik that day.”
