Jannik Sinner suspended, Novak Djokovic steps in with a leg up.

Novak Djokovic bluntly on Jannik Sinner’s disqualification

From the courts in Doha, Qatar, where he è engaged in both the singles and doubles draw (along with Fernando Verdasco), Novak Djokovic broke his silence and answered reporters’ questions regarding the three-month disqualification of Jannik Sinner, at the conclusion of the so-called Clostebol case. So far, the Serb had only exposed himself indirectly, as the PTPA he founded had already spoken out on Saturday, criticizing the proceedings in their various stages.

"The suspension è came because of mistakes made by some of his old staff members, who are still working on the Tour. For me and other players, with whom I have spoken, è a strange thing,” the Serb glossed.

So many agree with me that the proceedings regarding Sinner and Iga Swiatek were not fair".

"We know that they are innocent, è it has been proven,” Nole further clarified. We have seen però other cases where similar proceedings have led to longer suspensions. I think it is really time to do something, becauseé è it is clear that the current structure is not working".

The case-Clostebol è ended early Saturday morning with the officialization of the agreement between Jannik Sinner and Wada, the World Anti-Doping Agency, which resulted in a three-month disqualification and the final closure of the case. The South Tyrolean champion will return to competition in time for the Internazionali d'Italia and Roland Garros, top events in late spring.
