Jannik Sinner, a tennis player, spoke about his experience with an anti-doping ruling that led to controversy and subsequent staff changes in his team. He expressed relief that the ordeal is over and clarified that the frustration from his opponents was due to the inconsistency in the system.
Novak Djokovic supported Sinner and urged players to trust the decision-making process. Sinner acknowledged the importance of having a good legal team and the toll the experience took on him physically and mentally. He missed time due to illnesses and felt different on the court but managed to win the Cincinnati tournament. Sinner also needed “clean air” from his team, specifically his physical trainer and physio, with whom he had an incredible two-year partnership. The team is currently searching for a new physical trainer, and Sinner hopes for understanding from the public regarding his continued play and the ruling’s outcome. Despite the challenges, Sinner remains optimistic about his future in tennis.
