Sinner finally speaks: "Now it's over".
His speech was eagerly awaited.
As the reactions to the Sinner affair and its aftermath continue to pour in, the main man involved has finally spoken out.
Interviewed at US Open Media Day, the world number 1 insisted on his now official innocence: "You know, in my mind, I know I've done nothing wrong. I must have played for months with that in mind, but I remember that I didn't do anything wrong.
I've always respected those rules, and I always will.
In my mind, as I've already said, I'm happy that the result is finally out, because it's a kind of relief for me and for my team, which is still here.
Obviously, the preparation for this tournament was not perfect due to certain circumstances. But now it's over.
It's something I've been waiting for, you know, waiting for the result. Yes, now it's out, and that's it."
