Mouratoglou annoyed by the handling of the Sinner affair: "The fact that he can return to play in Rome looks like a set-up".

Patrick Mouratoglou, coach of Naomi Osaka, took time to react to Jannik Sinner's three-month suspension.

He believes that the agreement reached between Sinner and the WADA is the result of a difference in treatment compared to other players: "The Sinner case is a huge scandal. It's not about whether he's guilty or not, it's about the way WADA has handled it.

It's very unlikely that he doped, I don't think it's his state of mind at all, his mentality to dope.

But everyone feels that there's a double standard. This is clearly the case. The ITIA decided to hush it up, and didn't make public the fact that he had tested positive, as other players would have done.

[...] You get the impression that they've managed to show that they've suspended him a little, but not too much, so that he can play in the Grand Slams.

And if you look closely, he can come back and play in Rome just before the French Open, as an Italian, which looks even more like a set-up.

It's a travesty of justice. I can understand why other players wonder where the justice is."
