Sinner was surrounded by his trusted team in Monaco – coaches Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill, plus fitness trainer Marco Panichi, physio Ulises Badio and osteopath Andrea Cipolla.<\/p>\n
Draper said the trip was strictly business.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t speak to him too much to be honest,” added the 23-year-old world number six, who lost to Sinner in last year’s US Open semi-finals.<\/p>\n
“On the court, Jannik is always very professional \u2013 he’s number one for a reason.<\/p>\n
“He seemed in good spirits, had a great team around him and great people who have supported him through a tough time.”<\/p>\n
Once Draper moved on to the Madrid Open, Sinner enlisted the help of Norwegian teenager Nicolai Budkov Kjaer in practice sessions.<\/p>\n
Off the court, Sinner has spent time with his family back in Italy and has pursued his other interests outside tennis.<\/p>\n
Shortly after the announcement of his ban, he was pictured sitting alongside Vogue editor Anna Wintour at Milan Fashion Week.<\/p>\n
According to a source close to Sinner, the player has been enjoying skiing, biking and go-karting between tennis sessions in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
“I think he is feeling refreshed \u2013 tennis is very relentless. I’m sure he will come back to Rome and the rest of the year in fine form,” said Draper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
