Clostebol-Jannik Sinner, Feliciano Lopez responds sharply to Stan Wawrinka’s outburst
Battle between Stan Wawrinka and Feliciano Lopez
The three-month suspension for Jannik Sinner, in accordance with Wada, which will keep the current world No. 1 out of competition until early May, continues to cause discussion. The Clostebol case has now seen two diametrically opposed sides forming, and this is where the back-and-forth via social media between Stan Wawrinka and Feliciano Lopez fits in.
A post on 'X' by the Swiss has, in fact, triggered the former Spanish tennis player's reaction. To the phrase "I don't believe anymore in clean sports" from Wawrinka, Lopez replied directly: "I do believe, instead. It's very clear that he did nothing to irregularly increase his performance, è a fact".
"He è took complete responsibilityè for a mistake made by others and, as a result, will serve a three-month suspension,& added Feliciano Lopez, who ended his career in 2023 after being in the Top 15. Would a longer stop have made the sport cleaner? I don’t think so".
The sentence will cost dearly but not dearly to the South Tyrolean, who, on the strength of a good margin over his main opponents, will most likely return to the court at the Internazionali in Rome still as the world ranking leader, although Sascha Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz, by then, may have come close and not a little closer.
