ROME (AP) — Top-ranked Jannik Sinner added a clay-court tournament in Hamburg, Germany, to his French Open preparations for when he returns from a three-month doping ban in May.
Organizers of the May 17-24 Hamburg Open announced Sinner’s entry on Tuesday.
Sinner will return at the Italian Open before his home fans earlier in May.
A spokeswoman for Sinner confirmed to The Associated Press that he will play in Hamburg and said the only Wimbledon warmup that the three-time Grand Slam champion plans to enter is also in Germany, in Halle.
Sinner, who comes from the German-speaking Alto Adige region of Italy, is popular in Germany.
