Jannik Sinner: Alcaraz and Djokovic break silence
The words of Alcaraz and Djokovic
Ahead of the start of the Us Open, Carlos Alcaraz also had his say on the case that broke out this week concerning Jannik Sinner: "I believe in a clean sport but I don't know enough about the affair. I think there are aspects that we don’t know about the whole affair, but if they let him play there will be a reason, they said he è innocent. Definitely è a complicated moment for him", reports the Gazzetta dello Sport.
Also the rosea put in black and white the opinion, also on media day, of Novak Djokovic: "It is cases like Sinner’s that are the reason why we founded Ptpa, which always advocates fair protocols, clear protocols for standardized approaches to these kinds of cases. I understand that the players’ frustration is due to the lack of consistency. From what I understand, his case è was resolved the very moment it è was announced. I also think it has been five or six months since the news è been brought to him and his team. So sì there are many problems in the system. We see the lack of standardized and clear protocols, so I can understand the feelings of many players who wonder if they are being treated equally. Hopefully, the governing bodies of our sport will be able to learn from this case and have a better approach for the future. I think collectively there needs to be a change, and I think it is obvious".
And again: "Many players have had similar or the same cases, more or less the same, in which they have not had the same result, one has to wonder whether è a problem of funds, whether a player can afford to pay a significant amount of money for a law firm that would then better represent his case. Understanding this last point è very important, becauseé we have to standardize everything so that every player, regardless of his ranking or status or profile or wealth, is able to get the same kind of treatment and justice".
