Jannik Sinner-Clostebol, former number one's words baffle fans

The positivity and suspension of Iga Swiatek after a checkup have reignited on social media the diatribe about Jannik Sinner, fomented by some statements from insiders and former tennis greats. Among them came the surprise words of former world number one Ilie Nastase, who has always been a great supporter of the Blue: phrases that have displaced and enraged fans of the South Tyrolean.

Nastase in an interview with the Golazo website harshly criticized Iga Swiatek’s one-month disqualification, and spoke of an alleged disparity in treatment compared to the case of Romanian Simona Halep, who was detained for 9 months: "They only gave her a month because she is from Poland".

"We are the third world, Poland on the other hand è in the good world, that’s whyé she got only a month. è bad. Halep took two years in the first instance, Swiatek only a month", continued Nastase, who then also brought up Jannik, struggling with a totally different situation.

"If the Italian had not been number 1 in the Atp rankings and had been born in Romania, how long would he have been suspended? I say, even for two or three years".
