There are few voices from the professional tennis circuit that have spoken out on the issue. This time it is Daria Kasatkina who offers a somewhat different perspective on the doping case of Jannik Sinner: "Jannik is able to hire the best lawyers, people who will have everything sorted out for him. That is undoubtedly his advantage. I have an Italian coach, and he knows of other incidents that we are not aware of... There were two more players from Italy, one male and one female, who were caught with the same substance. The girl did not escape because she didn't know where she got it from... The dosage, the drug, yes. I don't remember the names. And the boy did know, and within 24 days, he presented evidence, continued playing, so it was a similar case. I don't understand why in Italy they keep getting caught with the same thing. I don't know, but I think it's possible because getting caught like that is absolutely ridiculous."
