ROMA. “I was treated like everyone else. I hope no other athlete finds themselves in my situation and that people understand that I was able to continue playing because we immediately understood how Clostebol had entered my body.”
This is how Jannik Sinner responds to the criticism of some fellow tennis players on the anti-doping procedures. “Obviously, I was in a position where I had the possibility of having excellent legal support – Sinner said in an interview with ESPN – If the situation is different, things can be different. But I have lived difficult moments, at Wimbledon I had sleepless nights because of the thoughts”.
Sinner, then speaking about the expectations on the outcome of the US Open, defined them as “Low”, to then focus on his psychophysical state of form: “These months have been tough. I made it because I knew I hadn’t done anything wrong – he said referring to the doping case – The mind had an impact, not just the hip injury: at Wimbledon I had sleepless nights and the effect was visible on the court. I wasn’t playing happy. Now I’m happy to be here, I can’t wait. But I need to turn the page, to find myself at my fullest I have to take it easy”
