Cold shower for all Jannik Sinner fans whose hopes of avoiding disqualification in the Clostebol case are reduced to a sliver
It arrived unexpectedly, without any warning or signal of any kind. The flat rate of Jannik Sinner al Paris-Bercy Masters 1000 was not scheduled, despite some rumors circulating in recent days suggesting such a decision.
The South Tyrolean tennis player, number one in the ATP Ranking, clarified that his absence at the French tournament is due to the effects, fortunately not too heavy, of a mild flu attack of a gastrointestinal nature.
The world ranking leader has therefore deserted the last Masters 1000 of the year and there was no shortage of controversy. Inevitable, one might say, given that he is the strongest tennis player in the world. As has always been the case until now, the strongest athletes are also the most exposed to the media
There are those who have spoken of Sinner’s ‘revenge’ against the organisers of the Parisian tournament: last year the Italian athlete played a match at a crazy time, after midnight, with the prospect of taking the field again only a few hours later, at 2pm.
Sinner, the nightmare is not over: the blow is imminent
Sinner abandoned the tournament in protest and for this reason the forfeit announced a few hours ago is a bit suspicious. But there is another hypothesis at play right now and it is decidedly more disturbing: possible disqualification for doping.
The appeal presented by WADA against the acquittal decided by the ITIA it has not yet been discussed by the CAS, the Court of Lausanne, but the atmosphere is not exactly the best for our champion.

Sinner, disqualification coming: there’s nothing we can do
The former tennis player now commentator Daniele Bracciali to the microphones of Mowmag it froze the hopes of Sinner and all his many fans. “Unfortunately knowing the WADA environment I think Jannik will be disqualifiedhe has no escape“, the chilling words of the former tennis player.
Bracciali then took things further: “It’s not right to disqualify a tennis player if he hasn’t taken drugs to improve his sporting performance and he hasn’t done anything, but unfortunately I know how these things go. Among other things – he concluded – Jannik didn’t do anythingthe responsibility story is nonsense!”. It is obviously hoped that the former world number 46’s prediction turns out to be completely wrong.
