The US Open is just 2 days away and we all look forward to the matches and the players involved in the tournament. One of the biggest players to watch out for is Italian sensation Jannik Sinner who will also go into the tournament as the World number one. Everyone will be looking forward to seeing him in the upcoming main draw matches and he will hopefully win his second Grand Slam title where he will be looking to get some more points in the tournament.
There is no doubt that Jannik Sinner will be one of the favourites to win the tournament and the highest-seeded player, but the 23-year-old superstar has been facing some problems where he has failed some doping tests. This has been one of the most debated topics where the whole tennis fraternity has discussed on if Sinner should be allowed to play or be fined for failing this test. This might be one of the challenging issues the player has been facing so far in his career.

Sinner gives his explanation
Even though Sinner has been cleared after the Anti-Doping agency cleared him to play the US Open, there are still a lot of speculations around his doping test issues, so it is no surprise that the media will question him on the matter as well. The sinner has also given an explanation saying "Of course I was worried because it was the first time for me and hopefully the last, we also have to see the amount I had in my body, which was 0.000000001 so there’s a lot of zeros before coming up with a 1”.

This answer by Sinner has made fans go completely crazy on social media and has confused some people as well. The fans are also questioning whether Sinner knows what he is talking about since if the substance was that limited, he would not face a lot of problems with the ITF and the Anti-Doping Agency. This answer to no surprise will be questioned by a lot of people.
Here is how the fans have reacted-
explain him about metabolites .. he is misinformed

Why did his physio bring a scalpel all the way to USA from Italy? I guess some woodwork in his spare time ?

And why did Doc. Ferrara, who is a anti-doping expert , bring with him a banned spray when his cut had already healed a month earlier ? Just an open question, not accusing anyone
