Roger Federer has commented on the doping controversy surrounding Jannik Sinner, emphasizing the need for consistency in handling such cases. The situation has sparked debate in tennis, as he was not placed under a provisional suspension for most of the process.
It’s not something we want to see in our sport, these types of news, regardless if he did something or not, or any player did. I understand the frustration of, ‘Has he been treated the same as others?’ And I think this is where it comes down to. I think we all trust pretty much that Jannik didn’t do anything, but the inconsistency potentially that he didn’t have to sit out while they weren’t 100 percent sure what was going on, I think that’s the question here that needs to be answered.
The situation has sparked debate in tennis, particularly regarding the procedural aspects of Sinner’s case, as he was not placed under a provisional suspension for most of the process.
Prior to the US Open, Sinner parted ways with his physiotherapist and fitness coach, and he has since advanced to the quarter-finals, where he will compete against Daniil Medvedev on September 4.
