Roger Rasheed, former top coach and well-known commentator, recently came to the defense of Jannik Sinner amid controversy surrounding his suspension.

He released the following comment: “Shocked at the heightened hysteria regarding the Sinner findings which is coming from many, it’s uneducated & emotional. Like his tennis, he’s done everything asked, diligently & professionally. The reality is, you shouldn’t have got 3 months. The world is changing, & it needs to.”
