Jannik Sinner, the world's top-ranked tennis player, will go to sport's highest court in April for the World Anti-Doping Agency's appeal that seeks to ban him from the sport for at least one year.

World number one Jannik Sinner's doping hearing will start on April 16, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said on Friday.

MELBOURNE: ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi has insisted Jannik Sinner's doping case was "run by the book" with no preferential treatment, and expressed confidence that tennis would survive should the Italian be banned.
