Jannik Sinner disqualified: Adriano Panatta already goes flat

Adriano Panatta already goesù flat after Jannik Sinner’s conviction. The world number one, in agreement with WADA, è been suspended for three months and will be able to return to training from April 13, before returning to the circuit in the Rome Masters 1000.

"È the most practical choice, it prevents Jannik from missing the entire season. He will miss a few tournaments, but the most important ones, Rome, Roland Garros and Wimbledon, he will be able to play them,” the former champion emphasizes to Rainews24. I always find it an injustice, but at least he gets this thought out of the way that he has had in his head for too long.".

"He will trainà three months is not a drama. Wada wanted to impose itself to say we exist, so the principle of objective responsibilityè was reiterated, but I always said Sinner had nothing to do with it" concluded Panatta.

The conviction will cost dearly but not dearly to the South Tyrolean, who, strengthened by a good margin over his main opponents, will return to the court in Rome still as the world ranking leader, although Zverev and Alcaraz by then may have moved closer and not just a little closer.
