The world's No. 1 Sina, who was suspended for three months for violating the ban on drug regulations, beat Argentine player Mariano Navone 6-3 and 6-4 at the Rome Open. After the game, she wrote the Italian Che bello on the camera. 10,500 viewers sang Ole cheers together.

This famous Italian player who just defended the Australian Open at the beginning of the year admitted: The long-lost atmosphere in the arena is incredible!

This game is not only the first match after Sina reached a three-month suspension agreement with the World Anti-Pharmaceutical Organization (WADA), but also pushes his winning streak to 22 games.

Despite his first serve mistake at the start of the game, he still won in 2 sets in 1 hour and 38 minutes with a sharp bottom line. However, he made as many as 16 forehand mistakes in the second set, and it was obvious that his condition had not yet recovered to his peak.

In February this year, Sina's test was positive when a physical therapist used a spray containing closedobol to treat a finger wound. Although the independent arbitral tribunal initially found no fault, WADA still advocated that it should be suspended for 1-2 years, and finally the two sides negotiated to reach a three-month punishment. At the post-match press conference, the Italian media spontaneously applauded and welcomed his return.

"Milan Sports Daily" took Sina's day as its headline, describing that "Rome will welcome the glorious return of the strongest Italian tennis player in history at 7 o'clock tonight."

While practicing football fans climbing fire hydrants and potted plants to see the style. The top 10 players such as Fritz and Rude who practiced with him also became the focus of star chasing. Sina's parents appeared at the central court to witness the signboard ceremony of his son holding the little caddie's appearance expressionlessly.

"I've been waiting for this moment for too long," Sina said after the game. "Even if the score seems relaxed, it's actually like riding a roller coaster, especially the long-lost starting tension."

He admitted that more formal competitions need to regain the rhythm: "This is the best feedback for my assessment of the state, at least now it's clear what to improve." The next round will be against Jesper de Jong, the Dutch player who was replaced from the qualifiers.

As the last Masters before the French Open, Sina still signed up for the Hamburg Open a week before the Roland Garross game to warm up for the clay Grand Slam. Rome rarely cleared that day, as if paving the red carpet for the return of the 23-year-old star, and the enthusiasm of the fans further confirmed the Italian tennis world's tolerance and expectation for unintentional mistakes.
