Jannik Sinner was considering taking a break from tennis earlier this year before he accepted a three-month ban in a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Jannik Sinner said he “didn’t feel at ease” during the Australian Open in January and considered taking a break from tennis after he was sanctioned for two anti-doping violations.

Australian Max Purcell, a two-time Grand Slam doubles champion, accepted an 18-month suspension for violating anti-doping rules, the International Tennis Integrity Agency announced Tuesday.
