Jannik Sinner, the men’s world No 1, has been banned from tennis for three months in a settlement of his doping case.

The 23-year-old Italian, who won the Australian Open in Melbourne last month, will now be suspended from the sport until 4 May. He will be eligible to play in the year’s next grand slam, the French Open, which starts on 19 May at Roland Garros.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) had challenged a decision last year by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) not to suspend Sinner for what it judged was accidental contamination by a banned anabolic steroid last March.
