The previous Australian tennis participant – doubles champion in all 4 Slams – argued his opinion by analyzing:
“Sinner did an exceptional job during the last season, but things will certainly not be easier for him now with the Court of Arbitration for Sport trial coming up. There is already a lot of talk about what will happen next in this story, but I think it is possible that he could also get some sort of suspension.
He has already been through several stages of the trial, he has been very good at managing to keep this story off the court and continue with his head down in the tournaments obtaining great results. He will still have to be good at not letting off-court events influence his performance on the court and I think it will not be easy for him.
At the US Open he struggled in the early rounds but got through them and then came in strong in the decisive stages, now in Australia being the defending champion adds further pressure so it will be fascinating to see how he handles the situation.”
We recall Jannik ought to wait not less than till the tip of February / starting of March, to know his destiny, till CAS is not going to rule definitively with the sentence. WADA requested 1-2 years of ban: the Italian ought to get, realistically, 1-3 month of ban.
