The first tennis player in the world, Italian Janik Siner, will appear before the Court of Arbitration for Sport in April.

CAs to decide on an appeal by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) which requests that he be suspended for at least one year for doping.

The hearing is scheduled for April 16 and 17 in Lausanne, and it will be a closed team, CAS announced.

It is expected that the verdict will be passed in an accelerated procedure, before the start of Roland Garros on May 25.

WADA is challenging last year's decision by the International Tennis Integrity Agency not to suspend Siner, citing accidental contamination with banned substances.

The agency accepted Siner's explanation that the traces of clostebol in his doping sample were caused by the tennis player's masseur who used that substance during the massage.

A large number of top tennis players, including Novak Djokovic, have suggested that Siner has preferential treatment.
