World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has revealed the reason behind re-hiring a team member whom he had earlier fired in the aftermath of his doping controversy. Umberto Ferrara, Sinner’s fitness coach, was shown the exit doors nearly a year ago. Along with physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi, Ferrara was fired after Sinner’s positive tests for banned substance Clostebol in March.<\/p>
The reunion with Ferrara came as a result of the 23-year-old parting ways with temporary appointments – fitness coach Marco Panichi and physiotherapist Ulises Badio. The decision to re-hire a controversial member of his team who had come under the scanner, was met with mixed reactions in the media. But after days of silence, Sinner finally revealed the reason behind the reconciliation.<\/p>
