Everything that has happened with the sanction of Jannik Sinner has generated a feeling of incomprehension among many tennis players, who have felt empowered to criticize the Italian in a more or less veiled way. Two important figures in the circuit, such as Daniel Vallverdú, coach of Dimitrov, and Feliciano López, director of the Mutua Madrid Open and the Davis Cup Finals, have warned about the lack of camaraderie and empathy they perceive among the players. "It saddens me. Most are not focusing on the facts. The real losers here are Sinner and tennis," says the Colombian, supported by the Spaniard.

We should be focusing on the Anti-Doping agencies processes & rules rather than the player being a victim from it - who clearly had zero performance enhancing benefits. ZERO.
I know JS since he’s 14yrs old and im comfortable to say that he is 100% not at fault.

The Anti-Doping agencies are at fault for the lack of consistency and accuracy with most tennis cases lately.
There should have never been a ban here.
Not an easy time for JS and Team. Stay strong and Rome will be the perfect setting for the warm welcome he deserves. 🦊🎾💪🏻
