All eyes are on Jannik Sinner as he returns to the court for the round of 64 at the Italian Open. The No. 1-ranked men’s tennis player and reigning Australian and US Open champ is making his return to the ATP Tour following a three-month suspension from the World Anti-Doping Agency. His first match of the tournament — and first since the ban — is against the No. 99-ranked Mariano Navone at Campo Centrale.
At a Glance: How to Watch Sinner vs. Navone
Ahead of the match, Navone told ATPtour.com, “He has been out for three months, and is still No. 1 in the world. But this is why we play tennis, to play in the biggest stadiums in the world.”
As for Sinner, he’s still dealing with the repercussions of the ban, saying in a pre-tournament press conference, “What’s missing for me is the complete feedback of where my level is. That’s going to come slowly with time of playing. After the first-round match, I’m going to have a good picture of myself and where I’m at.”
The match will start around 1:00 p.m. ET on the Tennis Channel. If you don’t have cable, Tennis Channel is available with live TV streaming services like DirecTV, Sling, and others.
How to Watch Sinner vs Navone
DirecTV’s online service, formerly known as DirecTV Stream, gets you the channel-flipping convenience of satellite, without the need for installation. DirecTV includes the Tennis Channel in the Choice package. Sports fans also get channels like TNT, ESPN, and regional sports networks. After the free trial, the choice package is $79.99/mo for the first month, then $89.99 thereafter.
If you like customization, Sling is a great, if slightly confusing, option. There are two base packages, with many different add-ons available, so picking the right package for you is not a one-and-done deal. But Sling’s a la carte approach makes it easier to save money on packages you might not need. The Sports Extra package, available with the Orange or Blue packages, gets you Tennis Channel access.
Fubo is a soccer and sports-focused live streaming service that also offers plenty of entertainment channels. Its Elite lineup includes Tennis Channel, which starts at $74.99/mo for the first month after the free trial, and is $94.99/mo thereafter.
