Jannik Sinner revalidated the crown in the "Most Beloved" player award by the fans, showing the tremendous voting power of many Italian fans. However, it seems that not all personalities related to the tennis world fully "believe" in the award received by the transalpine player. The latest of them was John Isner, who expressed his opinion on this matter in his podcast, Nothing Major, showing some surprise.
"I am somewhat surprised, to be honest. I'm not saying this about his personality, of course, but his 2024 polarized many people due to everything that happened with his positive doping test, of which he was later cleared. Many people didn't like that, like Kyrgios, for example. I thought that maybe that would harm his chances in terms of being the fans' favorite, but it didn't, so my congratulations," said the American.
