‘I haven’t done anything wrong’: Sinner hits back in anti-doping case

The world No 1 has spoken publicly for the first time since failed tests were revealed and denied claims of favouritism

As the countdown to the last grand slam tournament of the year has moved to its final days, the news of Jannik Sinner's anti-doping case has dictated the tennis discourse. The topic has dominated discussion across the US Open tournament grounds and it has been the talking point du jour in the various pre-tournament events across New York City.

On Friday, Sinner finally spoke in public for the first time since an independent tribunal determined that he would bear no fault and negligence for two positive anti-doping tests for the banned substance clostebol. In his press conference, Sinner described the verdict as a relief.
