World No. 1 Jannik Sinner said on Oct 4 he was not in a “comfortable” situation as his doping case drags on, but insisted that he felt ready for his first match at the Shanghai Masters.
Last week, the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) said it would appeal against a decision by tennis authorities to clear the Italian of wrongdoing after he twice tested positive for a steroid in March.
The 23-year-old fought through the controversy to win the US Open in September, and also reach the final of the China Open in Beijing on Oct 2, when he lost to arch-rival Carlos Alcaraz.
“It’s not in a situation where I feel comfortable in it, that’s for sure, because I thought it was over… so it’s not easy,” said Sinner, when asked at a press conference if the pressure of the appeal was affecting him.
