Sinner on his doping affair: "I wouldn't wish this on anyone".
Jannik Sinner, still under threat of a one- to two-year suspension from the circuit following the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) appeal, went back over the moment he was made aware of his positive test.
The Italian was at home in Monte Carlo when the news reached him: "I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Alex Vittur (his manager) called me and said 'Jannik, you're positive'. I said, "Yes, Alex, I'm always positive. Then he says, "No, you've tested positive for doping.
I had a very dark moment. I didn't know what to say. I immediately wanted to know how this could have happened. I hadn't done anything."
A positive test that the world no. 1 took very badly during the season, especially at the tournaments he played: "It was difficult. I couldn't talk about it, but anyone who knew me and saw me play knew that something wasn't right."
