In a recent interview, Novak Djokovic shared his thoughts on the ongoing doping case surrounding Jannik Sinner, emphasizing that it’s “not helping tennis at all.” Earlier this year, Sinner tested positive for a banned substance twice but was later cleared to compete by an independent tribunal. His remarkable journey culminated in a victory at the US Open, yet the World Anti-Doping Agency has since appealed the tribunal’s ruling.

As Djokovic geared up for this week’s Shanghai Masters, where Sinner is the top seed, he addressed the current situation in tennis. “Tennis has a system that is not working well,” he remarked, highlighting concerns that “even those who don’t closely follow our sport are starting to notice the numerous inconsistencies and the many governing bodies involved.”
