The former Australian tennis player Mark Woodforde, who was world number 1 in doubles and who created a very important partnership in the history of tennis with Todd Woodbridge, has talked about the situation of Jannik Sinner.

Between February and March, the Italian tennis player awaits the ruling of the TAS on the Wada appeal for the well-known positive Clostebol recorded in the last BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. Jannik risks a disqualification for negligence.

Woodforde, interviewed by the Tennis365 website, gave his interpretation and in his opinion it is not to be excluded, in his opinion, that a disqualification could also arrive for the world number 1.

The former Australian tennis player - doubles champion in all 4 Slams - argued his opinion by analyzing:

"Sinner did an exceptional job during the last season, but things will certainly not be easier for him now with the Court of Arbitration for Sport trial coming up. There is already a lot of talk about what will happen next in this story, but I think it is possible that he could also get some sort of suspension.

He has already been through several stages of the trial, he has been very good at managing to keep this story off the court and continue with his head down in the tournaments obtaining great results. He will still have to be good at not letting off-court events influence his performance on the court and I think it will not be easy for him.

At the US Open he struggled in the early rounds but got through them and then came in strong in the decisive stages, now in Australia being the defending champion adds further pressure so it will be fascinating to see how he handles the situation."

We recall Jannik should wait at least until the end of February / beginning of March, to know his fate, until CAS will not rule definitively with the sentence. WADA asked 1-2 years of ban: the Italian should get, realistically, 1-3 month of ban.
