Wilander: "I'm delighted that Jannik Sinner can carry on".
Reactions to the Sinner affair continue to pour in!
While many players consider that the authorities have clearly favored the Transalpine, Mats Wilander, icon of a whole generation of players, was keen to come to the world number 1's defense.
He declared: "I'm delighted that Jannik Sinner can continue to play. He's a great guy. I'm 100% convinced that this was a total accident on the part of Jannik and his team.
But any time there's a banned substance in a doctor's or physio's kit, you have to wonder how it happened. Why is it so hard to find out?
And that, of course, is where the mistake is made, where the people in charge of the players need to be more prepared.
They have to read more, they have to be ultra-careful, because obviously, this can destroy a player's career."
