When Jannik Sinner returned to round 64 at the Italian Open, everyone's eyes were staring at him. The No. 1 male tennis player and under the Australian and U.S. Open champions, he will return to the ATP Tour after a three-month suspension of the World Anti-Doping Agency. His first game was his first since the suspension, against Mariano Navone, who ranked 99th in the Centre.

Before the game, Navone told Atptour.com: "He has been out for three months and is still the No. 1 in the world. But that's why we play tennis, playing in the largest stadium in the world."

As for the sinner, he is still dealing with the impact of the ban and said in a pre-tournament press conference: "What is missing for me is full feedback on my level. This will slowly come up with the time of the game. After the first round, I will have a good photo of myself and my position as well as my position."

The game will begin on the Tennis Channel around 1:00 pm ET. If you don't have cables, you can provide tennis channels for live TV streaming services like DirectV, Sling, etc.
