Jannik Sinner intensifies training in Monte Carlo for comeback

World number one Jannik Sinner is accelerating his recovery from a right knee tendonopathy that forced him to miss the US Open. He has been conducting intensive training sessions in Monte Carlo alongside fellow Italian Flavio Cobolli, focusing on hard courts to prepare for upcoming tournaments.

Sinner's return to professional competition remains a subject of discussion, with his participation in the ATP 500 in Beijing and the Shanghai Masters still being evaluated to ensure physical stability. Italian Davis Cup captain Filippo Volandri noted that Sinner is increasing his training loads and aims to return at full competitive strength.

While Sinner maintains a significant points lead in the ATP rankings, Alexander Zverev remains a key challenger for the year-end number one spot. Meanwhile, Flavio Cobolli is preparing for the Laver Cup in London as part of Team Europe.
