'Sinner is playing with a clear conscience amid doping case'

TURIN (ITALY): Giant billboard photos of him grace nearly every piazza and street in the city. Fans have traveled from every corner of Italy to see him. The crowd chants his name before, during, and after all of his matches.

For many other players, all of the attention—amid a pending doping case—too—might be too much to handle.

Not so for Jannik Sinner.

The humble tennis player from the German-speaking region of Alto Adige, who in the last year has overshadowed soccer players to become Italy's biggest sports star, just keeps on winning.

“You need to be a special type of person to be able to embrace all that pressure and come here and feel the pressure but still be able to perform at your very best,” Darren Cahill, one of Sinner’s co-coaches, told The Associated Press at the ATP Finals.
