Andrey Rublev takes the field to defend Jannik Sinner

Rublev’s words

The Jannik Sinner case is not è closed yet and still awaiting the ruling Andrey Rublev, world number 8, had his say in an interview with Agence France Presse.

"I think the anti-doping system should be a bit more understandable", the first concept expressed by the Russian, who has often faced the world number one in recent years.

"You cannot wish any player to go through such a thing. I dare not imagine the stress or anxiety he felt during this period", he also stressed while defending his colleague.

"He handled it very well, continued to play his best and è managed to dominate the circuit winning titles despite everything. È really impressive".

"In tennis, the rules are very strict, more so than in other sports,” Rublev concluded. “I have a feeling that every little mistake, even when not è intentional, can threaten your career".
