“I hope it is a clean game, without cheating. I hope Sinner does not use doping to win.”

Sinner, on the other hand, has not yet responded officially, but his team requested “mutual respect” in a brief statement. The ATP, although it does not intervene, is closely monitoring the tone of the statements between the entry of the two players.
The match between Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner is emerging as one of the most exciting tournament. Djokovic, with his experience and mentality of Ironclad, faces a rising sinner with an aggressive and renewed game.
Jelena’s comment only added fuel to a match that already had all the characteristics of an epic battle. Tennis fans are now not only waiting to see a high -level sports show, but also how this multimedia tension will influence the performances of both players.
