There will be a second chapter in the stormy relationship between Jannik Sinner and Umberto Ferrara, whose paths diverged abruptly after the doping positives of the Italian player last year. The physical trainer was singled out as responsible, along with Naldi, his physiotherapist, for Jannik's infection due to an ointment they bought to treat a wound on the latter. His rehiring is quite surprising.

One thing that the recent times have proven is that Jannik Sinner wants to have people in his immediate circle whom he can trust completely, who won't reveal secrets to the press, and who know him perfectly well. Umberto Ferrara is back in the team, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, because he met all those criteria until the mishap with Giacomo Naldi, his former physiotherapist, who purchased a cream under Ferrara's direction to treat a wound. This cream contained Clostebol, leading to the contamination of the Italian player.

Even though the major negligence was on Naldi's part, by applying the cream and giving massages to Jannik without protection, transferring the cream to his body and causing the doping positives, it was considered at the time that the team leader, Umberto Ferrara, had not acted correctly. However, following the disappointing and brief tenure of Panichi and Badio, Sinner deemed it necessary to return to his roots, forgive Umberto, and reintegrate him into the team.

The extensive experience of Umberto Ferrara in the physical and pharmaceutical realm is highly valued by all, and during this period, he had collaborated with Berrettini, though they soon went their separate ways. Jannik Sinner made this decision after consulting with the rest of his team and family, obtaining approval to once again rely on someone he trusts fully. He had to expel him from the team to quell the rumors that arose following his doping positives. With the matter clarified, he felt ready to rehire him without stirring controversy or media uproar.
