Iga Swiatek’s coach Wim Fissette slammed Simona Halep and Nick Kyrgios as “negative people” and likewise urged that some ought to learn to the fullest what the ITIA mentioned of their report in regards to the case.
In relation to Kyrgios, he has been one of many harshest critics of Sinner. Whereas Swiatek was provisionally suspended for brief time and in the end acquired a one-month ban, the Australian nonetheless thought the ITIA was mild on the 23-year-old and that her clarification was simply accepted.
Addressing that, Fissette – who joined the Pole’s crew in October – highlighted that the ITIA issued a really detailed report by which they underlined that it was attributable to the contamination of a regulated non-prescription melatonin remedy and that it was accepted that the five-time Grand Slam winner did not knowingly or deliberately take a banned substance.
“There will always be people who will be negative, but I think that anyone who has read all the documents that Iga has provided and shown to the whole world, sees what happened. And should understand that it was just bad luck. It can happen to any player. I think that those people who are negative about the case, we should ask a few questions about Iga’s report and thus check whether they have actually read it,” Fissette advised Polish publication Onet.

How Halep, Kyrgios reacted to the Swiatek information?
A few days later, the previous world No. 1 gave an interview to The Telegraph, the place she additional defined why she believed that she acquired a unique and an unfair remedy. Whereas she did not talked about Swiatek by identify, it was completely clear about which participant she was speaking about.
“The woman player – I don’t want to give name, you know about who I’m talking about – she had the three-week suspension, then she played two events, and then she gets again suspension. What is this? I mean, I don’t understand. So I feel it is not fair,” Halep said.
He took another subtle shot at the Pole a couple of days ago.
“Feels good getting these consecutive days training in the bank man… Wrist reconstruction and back out here… Blessed… Without failing any drug tests (smiling and praying emojis). Be proud Kygs doing it the right way,” the 2022 Wimbledon finalist wrote on X last week.
How Swiatek responded to the Halep comments?
During an appearance on a Polish television, the four-time French Open champion pretty much said that comparing doping cases is a nonsense because each one is different to the other. And that meant that she didn’t think there was a reason for the Romanian to be using her case in the context she used.
“I know that people need to automatically compare such situations to others that have already happened, but the truth is that each of these cases is completely different. And the process of proving innocence will also be different. It’s hard to compare me to Sinner, to Halep, to Kamil Majchrzak, because each of us is struggling with a different problem,” Swiatek said during her appearance on TVN24.
“I think this is a question more for ITIA than for the player. My fate, just like the fates of others, was in their hands and they decide how each case will turn out, I trust that this process is objective, that everything is done according to the regulations and no one judges a player this way or that way because of his position. But whether it is really like that, I think this is a question for ITIA.”
