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."

Sinner did nothing wrong and there are many ignorant people who make judgements without even knowing the facts, 3 months suspension is an absolute injustice

Patrick M showed no mercy when he played a major part in Halep's case. This guy is a real piece of work.

Sinner "did" nothing wrong. The Italian fail TWO drug tests and he can keep playing like nothing. Only after 1 year they do something and it is just 3 months. This is a joke.

This is the biggest scandal in tennis HISTORY.

Guys please try to understand the situation. The is insanely unfair for every player and a huge injustice.

Sinner should be OUT of tennis for years. Thats the only justice that the sport needs!!

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

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.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
