Jannik Sinner rehires fitness coach he fired over three-month doping ban
Jannik Sinner has rehired fitness coach Umberto Ferrara almost one year after firing him for his role in the world No.1's three-month doping ban. Sinner failed two drug tests last year and was suspended at all tennis events from February 9, 2025 to May 4, 2025 after a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The Wimbledon champion and four-time major winner tested positive for clostebol twice – a steroid that can be used to build muscle mass. Sinner's explanation that he was accidentally contaminated by a massage from his physiotherapist, Giacomo Naldi, who used a spray containing the banned substance to treat a finger cut, was accepted by WADA. They decided that Sinner 'did not intend to cheat' but ruled he was responsible for his team's negligence, which ultimately saw him punished. Sinner previously parted with Ferrara for his role in the clostebol case – with the fitness coach the one who had purchased the spray. Ferrara blamed Naldi over the incident, arguing he provided the spray to the physiotherapist for personal use and warned him about using it on Sinner. Sinner, 23, explained his decision to part ways with Ferrara and Naldi at last year's US Open. 'Now, because of these mistakes, I'm not feeling that confident to continue with them,' Sinner said. 'I was struggling a lot in the last months. I was waiting for the result. The only thing I need right now is some clean air.' Sinner appointed Marco Panichi and Ulises Badio in September to replace Ferrara and Naldi – but they left their roles shortly before Wimbledon 2025. Italian star Sinner is now back working with fitness coach Ferrara ahead of the 2025 US Open after a statement from his team on Wednesday. More Trending 'Umberto has played an important role in Jannik's development to date, and his return reflects a renewed focus on continuity and performance at the highest level,' the statement said. 'The decision has been made in alignment with Jannik's management team as part of ongoing preparations for upcoming tournaments, including the Cincinnati Open and US Open.' Sinner only made his return to the ATP Tour in May following the ban – but since then – he's reached the French Open final and won Wimbledon. Speaking after his triumph at the All England Club, Sinner admitted he was surprised at his impressive level of tennis so quickly after the comeback.

One of the actress' starred alongside Jim Carey in another huge film MOVIE MAGIC 90s movie stars, 61, and 54, look unrecognisable as they reunite on the red carpet 27 years after smash hit movie Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NINETIES move stars Lisa Ann Walter and Elaine Hendrix looked very different as they attended the Freakier Friday premiere. Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis reunited for the comedy sequel, 22 years after they starred in Freaky Friday.

At the Los Angeles red carpet on Tuesday, Hollywood star Lindsey, 39, was also reunited Parent Trap co-stars Lisa, 61, and Elaine, 54. Lindsay was just 12 when she played identical twins Annie James and Hallie Parker in the 1998 family movie. Identical twins Hallie and Annie are separated after their parents' divorce. Years later, they discover each other at a summer camp and decide to switch places in an effort to reunite their parents. Elaine is probably best known for her role as The Parent Trap's snobby villain and stepmum Meredith Foster. While Lisa portrayed kind-hearted Chessy, nanny to the identical twins, born on October 11. The former co-stars delighted fans as they posed for together at the glitzy event. Lindsay looked glamorous in a pink and silver beaded gown with her blonde hair beautifully curled to one side. She flashed a big smile sandwiched between the two actresses. Elaine wore a cream dress with silver embodied star detail on it, with her hair in tight curls and some red lipstick. Lindsay Lohan fans spot huge change to her 'new' face as she appears on Andy Cohen's show Lisa looked chic in a black pinstripe suit and black vest top. She accessorised with gold drop earrings, black sunglasses and her luscious red hair in loose waves. Elaine went on to star in The Narrative and Joan of Arcadia, and more recently starred in the popular Netflix TV show Dynasty as Alexis Carrington, the character originally played by Joan Collins. She took over from Nicolette Sheridan who left the series due health complications. "Replacing a role that's been going on for a couple of years is not something I've done before," Elaine said. An animal rights activist, she also runs The Pet Matchmaker, an organisation concerned with the rescue, foster and adoption of homeless pets. In 2023 Elaine discovered her great-grandparents lived on the same street in New York as her Parent Trap co-star Lisa in the early 1900s and very likely socialised together. While in a bizarre coincidence, Lisa gave birth to her own identical twins three years after the film's release - and they too were born on October 11. She went on to star in Bruce Almighty with Jim Carrey, and the blockbuster War of the Worlds. Lisa is also the creator and executive producer of the reality weight-loss competition Dance Your Ass Off, on US TV. She is still close friends with Elaine and their co-star Simon Kunz, who played butler Martin in the movie. 6 Elaine and Lisa have remained close friends over the years Credit: Getty
