Jannik Sinner is facing an ongoing doping case after an appeal by the World Anti-Doping Agency against the Men’s Singles World No.1, who failed two tests in March.
The Italian was initially cleared of blame that allowed him to compete recently at the Australian Open.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport announced a hearing would occur in April on the eve of the competition.
Yet, this did not knock Sinner off his game.
He became the first Italian to claim three Grand Slam Titles after defeating Alexander Zverev in straight sets at the Rod Laver Arena.
However, if found guilty of the doping accusations, Sinner would likely face a ban that could prevent him from competing in the French Open, taking place in May.
Women’s No.1 and Grand Slam winner, Iga Swiatek, was found guilty of using banned heart medication Trimetazidine (TMZ) in August and served a one-month ban in September last year.
This could also be the reality for Sinner, who has been quick to comment on the allegations against him when suggesting that the guilt would’ve reflected on his level of performance had the doping rumours been true.
