Jannik Sinner was pleased with his performance at the Italian Open, despite failing to mark his return to the court with a title.

The Italian hit the ground running after his three-month doping ban by reaching the final of the competition, and Sinner insists that he will take plenty of confidence from his displays.

He said: “Very happy about this tournament. It gives me then hopefully confidence to play some good tennis also in Paris. Let’s see what’s coming out there.

“But yeah, after three months coming here making this result means a lot to me, a lot to my team also. We worked a lot to be here. Happy also with my family and everything. So yeah, happens like today. But for sure it’s a good lesson then for Paris.”
