As Jannik Sinner gets ready to make his return to tennis after a doping ban, Jack Draper has come out in his support, slamming the critics of the world No.1.
England tennis star Jack Draper has defended world No.1 Jannik Sinner, who is currently serving a three-month ban due to doping. Defending the 23-year-old Sinner, Draper said that the Italian “doesn’t deserve any of the hate he gets” from his critics.
Sinner received a three-month ban earlier this year after he
tested positive for clostebol in March of 2024. Many top players, including Serena Williams, have questioned the
short tenure of the ban, but the 23-year-old Draper feels Sinner is innocent and it was all just a mistake.
Sinner has claimed that he was contaminated with the banned substance clostebol by his physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi during a massage.
