The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will not hear Jannik Sinner's hearing on his doping trial before February 11, 2025.

In a year in which Rafa Nadal’s retirement claimed the second of the big three era in men’s tennis, it was left to Italian maestro Jannik Sinner (23) to fill the growing void in the game. Carlos Alcaraz had already stepped up as one replacement for a new dawn in tennis after Roger Federer walked away.

Jannik Sinner is set to be able to defend his Australian Open title with the appeal against his doping sanction not set to be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) before the tournament begins in January.

Just when you thought coming into December we wouldn’t be hearing a lot from the tennis world, out of nowhere, the controversies erupted once again. First, it surrounded World No.2 Iga Swiatek and her suspension due to a failed doping test.

Jannik Sinner looks set to be free to defend his Australian Open title in 2025 after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) published its latest list of hearings, but it also means the failed drug tests will continue to hang over his head for another couple of months.
