Chile's Jarry suspended for doping violation

Jarry was charged with the violation on January 4 and was provisionally suspended with effect from January 14. "Mr Jarry had (and retains) the right to apply to the Chair of the Independent Tribunal convened to hear his case why the Provisional Suspension should not be imposed, but has chosen not to exercise that right to date," a ITF statement said. Jarry reached a career-high singles ranking of 38 in July 2019, but has never been past the second round at any of the four Grand Slams. His doubles career includes quarter-final appearances at the French and US Opens in 2018.
