Nadal: "The judge clearly saw that he hadn't doped."

Jannik Sinner will challenge Tommy Paul for a place in the quarter-finals this Monday.

While this match - one of the first major clashes of the tournament, probably alongside Dimitrov-Rublev on Sunday - is eagerly awaited, the subject of the Sinner affair remains as omnipresent as ever.

The non-conviction and non-suspension of the Italian, who tested positive in March, continues to provoke debate.
Another major player recently lent his support to the world number 1: Rafael Nadal.

When questioned, he explained that he trusted the authorities: "I have a virtue or a flaw, which is that I believe in people's good faith.

I know Sinner and I don't believe he wanted to dope. I believe in justice and in the institutions that make decisions.

If he hasn't been sanctioned, I don't think it's simply because he's number 1 in the world.

Justice is justice. If he was cleared, it's because the judge clearly saw that he hadn't doped.

Everyone's opinion is respectable and mine is this one."

The judge, like the rest of us, only knows what testimony and evidence was presented. We have no idea if some testimony presented was true, partially true or false. And we never will. So the judge ruled on what he could.
