MELBOURNE - World number one Jannik Sinner said he was happy with his reception from the Australian Open crowd on Monday as he launched his title defence with a comfortable win over Nicolas Jarry while still embroiled in a doping case.

Jannik Sinner has bags under his eyes. Probably Armani.

Top-ranked tennis player Jannik Sinner will go to sport’s highest court in April for the World Anti-Doping Agency’s appeal that seeks to ban him from the sport for at least one year.

Jannik Sinner will face another player who has tested positive for a banned substance in the first match of his title defence at the 2025 Australian Open. Nicolas Jarry has admitted he “would have liked the same support” he feels Sinner received after his own failed tests.
