In a move that has surprised many but signals a clear intent to reset and focus ahead of the final Grand Slam of the season, Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner has officially rehired his former trainer Umberto Ferrera. The reunion comes on the heels of a brief but controversial period involving Ferrera, who was previously entangled in a doping-related row that shook the tennis community earlier this year.
Ferrera, who had once been a trusted figure in Sinner’s corner during his rise into the top ranks of ATP, had stepped away amid allegations tied to a minor doping infraction involving another athlete under his guidance. While Ferrera was never directly found guilty of wrongdoing, the association led Sinner to pause their professional relationship during the investigation.
Now, with Ferrera cleared of any formal charges and the tennis season heating up, Sinner appears eager to reestablish familiarity and focus ahead of the 2025 US Open. Sources close to the Italian camp confirm that Sinner believes Ferrera’s expertise in physical conditioning and strategic preparation will be instrumental in fine-tuning his game for the hard courts of Flushing Meadows.

Speaking to reporters during a training session in Monte Carlo, Sinner said, “Umberto knows my body and playing style like no one else. We’ve had great success together in the past, and I believe this is the right time to bring him back as we aim to go deep at the US Open.”
The 23-year-old, currently ranked in the top 5, has had a mixed 2025 season so far, with early exits at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon. His team is reportedly emphasizing endurance, serve consistency, and mental resilience—areas where Ferrera had once played a key role.
Fans and analysts are divided over the decision, with some praising Sinner’s loyalty and belief in second chances, while others caution against the optics of reuniting with someone who has been associated, however indirectly, with doping scrutiny.
Regardless of opinion, the message is clear: Jannik Sinner is sharpening his team for a US Open run—and he’s banking on old chemistry to spark new success.
