Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner is targeting a late-December comeback at an exhibition event in Saudi Arabia as he prepares for the Australian Open. The world number one addressed media in Milan on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, outlining his schedule for the remainder of the season and the start of 2027.
Sinner has been sidelined since the ATP Finals and will use the Saudi exhibition as a competitive test before the year's first Grand Slam in Melbourne. The tournament is scheduled for late December, giving him a brief window to regain match rhythm.
The 25-year-old Italian has not competed since the season-ending event in Turin. His team views the exhibition as a low-risk opportunity to assess his physical condition and form ahead of the Australian Open, where he will defend his title.
