Tennis star Jannik Sinner expresses disappointment over WADA appeal: ‘I’m Very Surprised’….see more
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has responded to the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) decision to appeal his case, expressing his surprise and disappointment.
Speaking after his hard-fought win over Roman Safiullin at the China Open, where he came from behind to win 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 and advance to the ATP 500 quarter-finals, Sinner addressed the appeal, which overshadowed his on-court performance.
The Italian, who failed two anti-doping tests in March due to the presence of clostebol, a banned substance, avoided suspension after claiming the substance came from a spray his former physiotherapist used.
Despite three independent hearings clearing Sinner of any wrongdoing, WADA has opted to appeal the decision.
