The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will not hear Jannik Sinner's hearing on his doping trial before February 11, 2025.

Jannik Sinner has had a very difficult year off the tennis court. Although his career has literally taken off in the last twelve months and has proven to be the best player in the world, the Italian ace has also had some problems that have stressed him out and forced him to grow.

Jannik Sinner is set to be able to defend his Australian Open title with the appeal against his doping sanction not set to be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) before the tournament begins in January.

Will 2024 be remembered as the year Jannik Sinner produced one of the all-time great seasons or for the doping asterisk attached to his results? The jury is, quite literally, still out.

Jannik Sinner did a lot of winning this year. At times, it felt like the Italian tennis superstar won everything. While that isn't quite right, Sinner did finish the year as the World No. 1 with a record of 70-6 and eight singles titles (including two Grand Slams).

Jannik Sinner looks set to be free to defend his Australian Open title in 2025 after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) published its latest list of hearings, but it also means the failed drug tests will continue to hang over his head for another couple of months.
