Multiple doubles Grand Slam winner Mark Woodforde believes that Italy’s Jannik Sinner is in line to receive a ban for failing doping tests. The 23-year-old is already regarded as the world’s best player in men’s tennis in the singles category.
He ended up winning two out of four Grand Slams and finished the season on a high after winning the ATP Finals in Turin. However, his year was marred by controversy after he failed two doping tests in March for banned substance Clostebol. Despite that, interestingly, Sinner managed to escape any ban as the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) accepted the player’s counsel’s response where they claimed that the availability of the banned substance in the player’s sample was because of receiving cream for the treatment of an injury from one member of the coaching staff.
