The decision of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to appeal the acquittal of Jannik Sinner after he tested positive for clostebol at the Masters 100 in Indian Wells made a huge impact on the tennis world this Saturday.
“We can’t control everything. I am, of course, very disappointed and also surprised by this appealto be honest, because we have three hearings. The three hearings were very positive for me. You know, I didn’t expect it. I found out a few days ago, that they will appeal, that now it will be official, so… But yes, it is a surprise,” said the Italian tennis player in a press conference after his round of 16 against the Beijing tournament.
“We always talk about the same thing. Maybe they just want to make sure everything is in the right position. Yes, I’m surprised they appealed,” he added.
His reaction was very different Nick Kyrgios. The Australian, one of the strongest critics of Sinner since learning that he tested positive, He is back on the case against the world number 1.
“Hahahaha I hope those who run it don’t care that I’m number 1 and have money” he wrote in response to the publication of the news on Eurosport’s Instagram account.
A few weeks ago, Sinner was asked about Kyrgios’ continued criticism. “I don’t know. I don’t want to answer what he said. Everyone is free to say what they want. All right. If so, we’ll see. I’m sure it will be different (laughs). I don’t know what to say. Maybe I say something sometimes and the reaction is different,” said the world number 1.
“I’m always pretty calm. I’m a person who forgets things pretty quickly. Everyone is free to say what they want. It is what it is” concludes a Sinner without any desire for controversy.
