“For Sinner, winning the US Open was very important in light of his doping scandal” – agent Ostrovsky

Italian tennis player Jannik the fisherman It was important to win the US Open in light of the doping scandal associated with it, agent Alexander Ostrovsky said.

Last Sunday, Sinner beat American Taylor Fritz 6:3, 6:4, 7:5 to become the US Open champion.

“Personally, I had no expectations for this match. I was convinced that Sinner would win quite easily, given his and Fritz’s level of play. It is a great success for Taylor to play in the final, especially at home in TBS. But the American is still not in the top 10. His results are unstable and so far he is still not a competitor to such players as Sinner, Djokovic, Alcaraz and Medvedev. Therefore, the fact that Taylor reached the final is already a serious success. And for Yannick, it was a very important tournament and a victory in view of his doping scandal. It was important for him to show quality tennis and come out on top. In such difficult psychological conditions, under enormous pressure, he did not give up and achieved the desired result,” Ostrovsky said at the Championship.

In August, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) reported that Sinner had two positive doping tests in March. The athlete avoided disqualification because he proved that the banned substance, clostebol, had entered his system accidentally. A number of players have publicly criticized the ITIA for its inconsistency in handling similar cases. On September 10, Corriere della Sera, citing the Court of Arbitration for Sport, reported that the World Anti-Doping Agency had not challenged the ITIA’s decision.
