Federer reveals the big question being asked about the Sinner case
Upon his arrival in New York, the Swiss tennis player talked about Jannik Sinner's positive test and expressed the great uncertainty that everything that happened leaves him.
Roger Federer is in New York, where he will be present tonight at the Arthur Ashe matches, at the start of the men's and women's quarterfinals of the US Open 2024. The Swiss has been asked about the doping case of Jannik Sinner and has not hesitated to give his opinion, making it clear that he has several unanswered questions.
"This is not the typical news we would like to see in our sport, regardless of whether he did something or not," Roger began saying for Today, today in New York. "It's a complicated situation. It's every athlete's nightmare to have these kinds of complaints and problems on the table because we fill out those forms every day. You live with it every day. You wake up and wonder if someone will knock on your door that day to test you. It's hard," he continued.
The Swiss tennis player comments on the possible favoritism that many criticize in the Italian case since his case had different procedures and timelines than other tennis players. "I understand the frustration of others, whether he was treated the same as the rest. That's the crux of the matter," Federer elaborated, leaving an interesting reflection where he fully engages with the case.
The big question Federer asks
"I think we all believe that Jannik didn't do anything, but the issue here is the inconsistency of not potentially being sanctioned while they weren't 100% sure of what was going on. That's the question that needs to be answered here, but that's how things are, and we need to trust the process and the people involved," Roger replied, believing that the Italian could have been sanctioned without playing while all questions about his case were being answered.
