2. Why Was He Suspended? The Clostebol Controversy
The Incident
In March 2024, Sinner tested positive twice for clostebol, an anabolic steroid.
Investigations revealed he had been unintentionally contaminated when his physiotherapist (Giacomo Naldi) used Trofodermin, a topical cream containing clobetasol, purchased over-the-counter by his fitness coach, Umberto Ferrara. Naldi applied it without gloves, transferring traces of the substance to Sinner.
Initial Ruling
An independent tribunal commissioned by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) ruled Sinner bore “no fault or negligence”, clearing him of intentional wrongdoing ESPN.comWikipedia.
Despite this, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) appealed that ruling. Rather than face prolonged litigation, Sinner accepted a three-month suspension from competition (Feb 9 – May 4, 2025), which had the effect of clearing his slate before the French Open and Wimbledon.
Public and Peer Reaction
Criticism followed, with comments from players like Nick Kyrgios and Stanislas Wawrinka, who questioned the fairness and transparency of the process.
3. Coaches & Team — The Driving Force Behind His Success
Primary Coaching Duo
Jannik’s success has been anchored by a powerful coaching partnership:
-
Simone Vagnozzi, who has led the tactical and technical side since early 2022.
-
Darren Cahill, serving since mid-2022 and handling mental and emotional coaching; his experience with champions adds critical depth.
Vagnozzi emphasizes a shared “united voice” approach, while Cahill focused early on strong serve improvement to enhance Sinner’s game.
What Lies Ahead
Cahill originally planned to retire at the end of 2025, but a pre-Wimbledon “bet” clause—stipulating that if Sinner won, Cahill could decide whether to stay—has left his future open. As of mid-2025, Cahill is taking a short break, and Simone Vagnozzi will lead solo at the US Open
Former Coach
Before Vagnozzi and Cahill, Riccardo Piatti coached Sinner until February 2022 and helped lay foundational skills.
Fitness Team and Reunion
-
Umberto Ferrara, the fitness coach implicated in the doping incident, was promptly dismissed but reinstated in July 2025, just after Sinner’s Wimbledon triumph. The decision drew heavy criticism from the tennis community and media, including comments labeling it a major PR miscalculation.
