Sinner Innocent in Doping Scandal 👉 kzitem.info/news/bejne/xJ542Jp7nJWZqoosi=miaFzM4Hn7lxL7p_ Per TENNISMEDIA @luciahoff on X After contacting ITIA this afternoon, I just got an email back with the clarification regarding Jannik Sinner's case to my question, if it's made public right away when a player fails a doping test. "No it does not. The WADA rules dictate when cases become public. When any player has a finding, there is a very carefully managed process to confirm the finding, investigate and then next steps agreed. If a player is provisionally suspended, then we announce it. Once a case is concluded, we announce it. In this case, the player was issued with a provisional suspension for each of the findings. On both occasions he successfully appealed the provisional suspensions to an independent arbitrator. Once an appeal is successful, it remains anonymous. Had the player's appeal been turned down, it would have been announced. I hope that clarifies."

Hey Nik Australian here (I live 5 minutes from Olympic park where they play the Aus Open, and have worked there over the years). January is the Australian summer school holidays. People who are going away tend to travel the first few weeks as an extension of Christmas/new years, but are back by the second week of January when the aus open begins. So it ends up being at the perfect time to take the kids, plus some people take extended holidays or days off. Then the finals fall on the ‘Australia Day’ public holiday long weekend. The finals are on the Sunday but we have a guaranteed day off on the Monday. Weather is consistent in January as it’s warm but also has relatively little rainfall on average. This reduces rain delays, but also makes it better to attend. Tournament is surrounded by food and sponsored activations so it’s almost a big party and you can hang outside on the grass with a ground pass. They open up a train station at the grounds and it’s like a 5/10 minute walk from the city so with good weather people just walk in. Australians also love sports and you have less competition in January (apart from Cricket and a couple of games of Australian Soccer, and Australian Basketball which isn’t as popular as the US). Grand Prix is in March. Australian Rules Football is March - September. Melbourne Cup for horse racing is in November. National Rugby League March - September. Netball April - August. So there’s less viewership splitting and it’s the obvious choice that part of the year for sponsors. This all results in it being really popular to attend domestically. Attendance last Aus Open was 1.1 million, which is more than the US Open (in a country of 26 million people).

Hi Nik to answer your question, our summer here is from Dec - Feb. We love our public holidays, long weekends and sports in Melbourne especially so. Now it just so happens that the Australia day lands on the 26th of Jan so this insures that the finals of the AO are played on the long weekend with the most chance of people attending / viewing the event. Keep up the great work !

Hello everybody. I think the timing came just in time, before US OPEN. I think tha Sinner now can just move on and focus to the major, without any weird thought that something really bad can come over him anymore. People will talk about it, like me , italian and Sinner fans, I feel sorry for allt this thing and I welcome the fee i got, which I think in fair enough . Sinner and his team has to be VERY carefull in the future, to avoid any possibility of speculation or other unpleasant thoughts connected to DOPING....thera are simply too many good things to lose mixing up with DOPING and yes they did a mistake ( Sinner team), and as man in charge, Sinner carries the whole responsability for what happened. Be careful my man, there are plenty of people out there that are just looking forward to see you fall down in the darkness, unfortunately. I stand with you Carota🎾🥕, just grow up and see the hole picture,ä..don' t trust anybody , but only rely in your skills and intelligence, DON'T be naiv please. Looking forward to see you winning the US open now with your hearth free from this shit. Move forward CAMPIONE❤🎾🥕💪🫶🤗

I agree with you on the Draper shot. Whether the ball hit the racquet first and then the ground (illegit), or if it hit the ground first and then the racquet (legit), it all happened within milliseconds. There is no way for anyone to be able to see or feel the difference. Even if video review is available it would probably require ultra slow-mo to see it definitively. In this situation rather than spending billions to install ultra slow mo video review systems, the easiest solution is simply to call "replay point". On Swiatek's complain of "too many tournaments", there is an easy solution. Right now the players play anywhere between 20 to 35 tournaments a year. Let's pick a reasonable number, say 22. So one can play as many tournaments as he/she can, but only 22 of the tournaments with the highest points earned in the last 12 months will be counted towards his/her ranking. This would make the top players happier. They can choose to play the minimum number of tournaments without much fear of losing ranking points. The lower ranked players can also be happy. They can still play as many tournaments as they can to pad up their income. The only thing is that they can no longer use the quantity to pad up their ranking points, which should result in a fairer ranking system for all.

I fully agree. When the racquet came in contact with the ball, the distance from the ground was minimal, so that the two ball contacts (ground and racquet) were virtually contemporary.

The Australian Open was actually played in December, at the end of the year, until 1985. It was also played on grass and moved to a hard-court stadium in 1988. Starting with 1987 ( there was no AO in 1986), the Australian Open was moved to the first week of January. So, two changes happened within 1 year.: The tournament was rescheduled, and the surface was changed. The reason to reschedule the AO from December to January has mostly to do with two factors: there were no Grand Slams in the first 6 months of the year, and all four Slams were scheduled in the last 6 months of the year, but also, as the Finals ATP became more relevant, there was a need for the ATP finals to be the tournament at the closing of the year. As you correctly said, the reason for scheduling a Grand Slam tournament during January is the weather. The city of Melbourne, which is further east in the south of Australia, has four seasons, and it rains pretty often in Melbourne; you can see how lavish the gardens are. Scheduling the tournament in other months during the year would result in delays due to the weather. The other reason is that during the school holidays / Xmas, the tournament is attended by more spectators towards the end of January than it would be if the tournament had been held earlier in the month.

I think Draper was genuinely confused. He never acted like someone who thought he had lost the point. He never turned backwards or shook his head. He, like everyone else, was mesmerized by the ball creeping over the net; and you can see his genuine confusion when a protest was raised. He offered to replay the point, but I thought Felix came on to him too strong, making an accusation that Draper knew it was a miss; and thus Draper withdrew the replay offer, and made it conditional on the referee decision. As the controversy intensified Draper probably then realized it was a missed shot due to the intensity of Felix reaction.

I'm still a little confused about Draper's reaction. I think initially he felt exactly what happened - it appears he wanted to hit at the ball and turn around but then held back as there was no call from the umpire. As he saw the ball trickling over the net he looked at the umpire who subsequently made the call. Either the umpire got him thinking that he had really pulled off a legit shot or he knew he got lucky. Then, as Felix was protesting, he offered the replay and played dumb. He also knew that it was too late to admit what really happened and would look weird if he would concede the point now.

Hello, this is not difficult shot to see by umpire, because if he was truly wanted to hit that way and did it, it could be only possible for certain move to execute - up -> down -> turning racket face up -> moving racket away from body (e.g. shot by Paire which he did when ball bounces back to him) - which he did not do, he just put his racket flat towards the ball and digging it from knee level, that's it. As a long time tennis player I could clearly see it and it's not difficult at all. I'm sick and tired from these unsportsman and unproffesional judges because they didn't play on certain level, they can judge anything from amateur perspective, it's like putting man from the street to judgement chair and teach him how to call supervisor and clicking ipad.

I think the sponsorship decline is that we are in-between generations at the moment. No federer, williams, sharapova etc makes merchandise sales alot harder which gives companies a higher marketing budget. I cant name a younger or even 25-32 year old player who has their own signature line like RF. I also think the increase of prize money has dwarfed the sponsorship deals making it look like a smaller amount

The ball didn't even touch the ground twice. It just deflected off the racket into the court which made it a dead ball immediately. It was difficult to see but fairly easy to hear in my opinion. But the umpire has to make a very quick decision and stand by it, otherwise he would look like a fool. That is not an enviable situation. Draper could know because he was 100% dialed in and he felt the ball's contact on his racket. His immediate reaction tells me he knew what happened.

The Season IS TOO LONG and while Iga and any WTA are not the best to say this compared to the ATP players, she is not wrong. The entire structure of the season needs to be changed not just the scheduling. Yes there should be Slams, Masters and an End of Year Finals to determine who is the Champion for that year but the fact players feel it necessary / or be pressured into competing week in week out is not just ridiculous its dangerous and will GUARANTEE injuries to happen. There needs to be a 2-3 month break that simple. The body cannot go on 110% all the time and not suffer consequences. If people want Jannik or Carlitos to keep getting injured and eventually not be able to play keep this up... 'mandated' is an interesting and meaningless term. Kind of harmful and greatly disturbing also as we learnt with the $bogey-manflu$ from 2020-22.. If players just said no to this it would not exist. The prizemoney distribution situation is disgusting. It is at least improving at the Slams but to compare ATP 250s and 500s to Challengers and especially Futures it is patently clear that the vast majority of players are living in poverty or not far off it. Either it needs to increase 3-5 times the amount OR have a Division setup with Premier Tournaments, Div 1(250s and 500s) and Div 2(the rest) and have livable prizemoney at Div 1 and 2 to end the hopeless situation that is Futures and lower Challengers. Sponsorship is ok with racquets and strings but with clothing brands its ridiculous. We should be able to find non-sponsored tennis clothing. Any Pro player should be considered for a sponsorship from some firm. Especially from Nike who makes HOW MUCH FROM SALES per annum?? 'NIKE annual gross profit for 2024 was $22.887B, a 2.67% increase from 2023. NIKE annual gross profit for 2023 was $22.292B, a 3.79% increase from 2022 ' So yes they are 'short on money', 'doing it tough' ha Why not put some of that 3,79% to players on the tour who are wearing Nike shoes?? Tennis apparel/shoe 'sponsorships' are not just becoming a 'business' its more like a sad scam

I'm a little concerned about Sinner's hip issues. He did not look very comfortable with his movement the last couple of matches, and I don't know if he can go all the way at USO if he's not physically 100%. After so many weeks off the tour, if he's still feeling it in the hip, how much can his condition improve in the next few days? I am also concerned that Alcaraz didn't get almost any match practice on hard courts before USO. He just went from clay to grass to clay, and then we all saw what happened at Cincinnati. I don't think that match is going to do him any good in terms of building his comfort on the surface or his confidence generally, especially after missing out on gold at the Olympics. I'm hoping he mentally recovers from that both losses ASAP.

There is no legitimate reason why AO is held when and where it is. Before 1920s it didnt even exist and until 1980s no one outside of the Anglo world went to it and even then it was an ask. Before 1987 it was held in the equally crazy ULTRA Summer month of December so... There is a claimed reason(part of the solution-homeschool your kids so you can take them to things when things are on) but you cannot take it seriously when you see that nearly every other sporting event is held other times of the year which directly conflict with claimed reason and still have the same or larger ticket sales. Formula 1- March, AFL(weird sport that no one outside of baron continent cares about)Finals- September, Men jumping on other men(not into that) to grab a odd shaped ball called 'rugby league'(March to October) but the only sport played in ULTRA Summer(actually kills people) is Cricket which is not popular anymore. I would rather observe the ants in my organic gardens than watch Cricket... Even the time of the day they play AO is beyond ridiculous. 1000 start in January is WHEN you want to get skin cancer.. AO is the most hot conditions of ANY of the Slams. The heat in Australia is besides Africa and Middle East the WORST IN THE WORLD. There is not a summer in Australia, its just Summer all year round except for Canberra and Tasmania and sometimes Southern Victoria. And then from November to March its ULTRA Summer. What do people do in Australia who have $ and sense between December and February - Go to Europa and SKI and play Indoor tennis! It actually is player-abuse to have it between December to February. IF AO is to be held in the future AT ALL(which it shouldnt given what happened in 2022 and who runs TA) it should be held after the US Masters in April. April AO. It makes absolute sense as AO is slower than US Open hardcourts and you can now get a flight from Los Angeles(who would live there anyway?) to Sydney so players could easily fly. April to September is the best time to do sports in Australia. December to March is the worst. Failing this though why not just replace AO with an Indoor Slam be it in Deutschland or Sweden? Then after ATP Finals is done players could literally rest until the South American swing or US March hardcourts

8:00 I think Draper may have at least suspected, and then just behaved in a smart manner. The umpire was willing to decide in his favor (not in an unethical manner, he just decided that way), and every kid knows not to oversell their position if the parents are already driving up to the ice cream parlor. Should he have conceded the point even if he had known? That's easy to say with no price money on the line; the top #5 players can probably afford to be more generous than someone between #20 and #100.

With Sinner, although I like this guy really, it is a big scandal with his doping and how they handle it. I never heard a more stupid explenation for this "positive-test-result getting by his massage-guy", are they holding everybody for a complete idiot ? There is that much money in the game, the players use every advantage to gain, for sure he used it. Look alone to his muscle-gain in the last 12 month and also how often he is injured. Doping is the big elephant in the room of tennis, it always has been (Nadal did it 100 %) and I know already, how all Nadal-fanboys start screaming now immediatly. The Cincenetti match between Zverev & Sinner was that close, a little "advantage" by using certain "medicine" is making you win the match.

@@zanido9073 You dont seem to understand how doping works. Athletes can time taking the doping so that the half life is enough to get the drug out of their system before the testing. Just because he had a small amount of the dope in his blood system doesnt mean that was the amount he would have originally take.

Thanks for the analysis, great as always. For me Sinner is the new number 1 doping tennis star. Who is going to believe his story? Contamination from an injured finger. If Halep is banned then Sinner should be banned too. That is my opinion on his start at the US Open. Whenever he wins I always have a bad feeling now. Thanks for this nice channel 👍👍

Tired, well don't play, instead of that drama. You can always claim being injured or physically exhausted here and there, there are ways. Iga is just requesting too much being in the best position possible. People work hard for 12h 5 days a week, sometimes more. And she is complaining while having the best conditions, even from hospitality standpoint, funny. She just doesn’t want to let other people collect points/titles, but wants more many out of less events for herself. She doesn’t respect audience with this comment as well. As you said, people want events to watch. Tennis is struggling too, so businesses need to make money and tennis needs to be promoted. Just spoiled person.

As for the Draper incident, i am surprised by your verdict because experienced players and atudents of the game such as yourself usually recognize the SOUND of a ball hitting the court at a nore or less perpendicular angle like that. Had it been a legit half volley the bounce before would not nearly have been this loud. Of course everything happened very fast but it was really the sound of the bounce that gave it away. FAA didn't even think about chasing the ball, though he did have a better view than the umpire. As for the tournament calendar, i think mandatory events are unnecessary. Let the players decide where they want to compete and earn money and ranking points and how they want to prioritize their season. Maybe they should just have a certain number of mandatory 1000 events, 6 out of 9 for example? The 1000 events are already much more affluent, why should they be exempt from enticing players with appearance fees? Sad that organizers are all about the big names, though lesser-known players can be just as exciting to watch for real tennis fans. I personally always enjoyed watching some superstars in Vienna but it was never a requirement for getting my tickets. I always bought tickets for QF friday, because it would give me the most tennis for my money.

No. He had a microscopic amount of a banned compound in his blood from a 3rd party contamination. One of his trainers (unknowingly) used a spray containing the substance to treat a cut on his (the trainer's) hand, and then gave Sinner massage therapy. The amount was far too small to have any effect and it was deemed to be not intentional or due to his negligence. Just a freak coincidence.

Not to mention I have seen all of the big 3 fans make constant and repeated calls of doping for the other guys( completely baseless)… I hate how paranoid and aggressive everyone is and eager to call their favourite’s rival a doper/ cheater.
