Well, I know the Italians have a big stable of young players at the moment but....

Felix lost 2 & 4

However, the lad is only 19 and as of back in 2022:

A decision has been issued under the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme (the "Programme") that Mariano Tammaro has committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation under Article 2.1. That decision imposed a period of ineligibility of two years, commencing on 30 November 2021.

So if it was two years from 30 Nov 2021, then why's he playing now? Before Nov 2023???

This is Mr. Tammaros first Anti-Doping Rule Violation. The decision determines that: (1) Mr. Tammaro has committed a violation of the Programme; (2) he must serve a period of ineligibility of two years; and (3) that period of ineligibility is back-dated to start on 30 November 2021, and ending at midnight on 29 November 2023. In accordance with Programme Article 9.1, all ranking points and prize money obtained by Mr. Tammaro at the Event are disqualified.

I'd look into that, Felix - as a friend

Definitely worth looking into. Perhaps it was a 1 year ban with a 2nd year suspended. But then why doesn't it say that in the text.
