Former tennis player harsh against Jannik Sinner: “Huge damage”

The'former tennis player tough on Jannik Sinner: "Huge damage"

In an interview with Sport 1, Alexander Waske commented harshly on the Jannik Sinner issue: "Sinner è a great guy, è a champion who always says the right thing, has a fantastic physique and you would never think he is doping. But he’s doing tremendous damage to tennis because he’s trying to get the best for himself. He may not have done anything wrong, but the other players are right to ask for clear rules".

"È it is clear that this was a deal and most tennis players are complaining about it. This sanction è was agreed so that é Sinner would not lose a Slam. And tennis players may have rules that define what to do. Players like Medvedev have already seen the Sinner case as a precedent for negotiating their sanctions, and tennis suffers from this problem".

"We need clear rules so that there is only one body to carry out these checks and then there will be no negotiations. There have also been cases like Simona Halep or Maria Sharapova, but they did not receive such aì short punishment" concluded the'former German champion.

Toni Nadal, Rafa’s uncle and director of the Majorca tournament, on the other hand, is on Jannik Sinner’s side: "I am against the sanction, I have reiterated it several times,” he told Marca. “I know Sinner personally, he would never have done it voluntarily, and you can’t treat a person like that for a casual mistake".
