It's worth mentioning to note that the 23-year-old Italian star tested positive for the Clostebol, but there was an extremely minor gram found in his samples. Sinner's team further claimed that he had taken the prohibited substance accidentally, not intentionally, after his physio used the drug to cut on his own finger, many experts said it would have no effect on the player's performance. The Italian-born star tested positive for the banned substance during the Indian Wells 2024, and his winning amount was also stripped off. However, the world number one, commendably remained silent on this situation despite the Australian star insulting him in the social media.

“I don't think I have to answer this, to be honest. How do I block it? It's not that you just put it in a part and you just say I don't think any more about this. In my mind I know exactly what happened, and that's how I block it, no? I haven't done anything wrong. That's why I'm still here. That's why I'm still playing. I don't want to respond on what Nick said or what other players says. I think the most important part is to have my people around me who contrast people, they exactly know what happened. That's it,” Jannik Sinner said, as being quoted by Tennis Letter.
