Griekspoor Sinner

Even with the US Open in full swing, the Sinner affair continues to generate numerous reactions.

While most of those interviewed consider the Italian's innocence to be probable or even obvious, the way the affair has been handled and the fact that the world number 1 has not been suspended for the duration of the investigation are not going down well.

Tallon Griekspoor, who has just made it through the first round, defeating Nagal in 3 sets (6-1, 6-3, 7-6), was asked about this.

Rather critically, he explained: "I don't think Sinner took anything, I don't think he's the sort of person to do that sort of thing.

Of course, I could be wrong. But I just think the way his case has been handled is very strange.
There's no smoke without fire.

Sinner obviously brings in a lot of money.

The two biggest figures in the ATP are also Italian (ATP President Andrea Gaudenzi and CEO Massimo Calvelli).

Some, like Halep, had to wait two or three years, while Sinner was allowed to continue playing...

Whether you're number 1 in the world or number 500, everyone should be treated the same."
