Boris Becker has commented on the doping case involving Jannik Sinner.

In an interview reported by Tennis Up To Date, the German spoke about anti-doping controls and integrity in tennis, highlighting the Italian's ethics and personality.

"Yes, doping is completely opposite to his personality. I have total confidence in him. I am more wary of players who suddenly explode during a season or who are phenomenal for two or three tournaments. That kind of thing is suspicious. But Jannik has been among the best for years."

For the record, Sinner was sentenced to a 3-month suspension for negligence by the World Anti-Doping Agency. This decision follows a positive test for clostebol (an anabolic steroid) at Indian Wells in 2024.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
