Jannik Sinner critic Nick Kyrgios
said Saturday he was dismayed at the wold number one's
three-month doping ban, saying it was a bad day for tennis.
"A bad day for tennis", the Australian former Wimbledon finalist
commented "with regret and disappointment" on X the agreement
between Sinner and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) on the
clostebol case., whose outcome will not affect the 23-year-old
South Tyrolean's dream of becoming the first man since Rod Laver
in 1969 to achieve a calendar year Grand Slam.
Since last year, the 29-year-old Aussie player and pundit has
been the harshest critic of the Italian tennis player for whom
he had hoped for a long disqualification.
Kyrgios relaunched an attacking post on Sinner that calls into
question other champions such as Dan Evans, Simona Halep,
Nicholas Jarry, and Beatrice Hadad Maia who have served major
disqualifications for cases of alleged doping.
"The rules are rules unless you are a puppet of the system",
said the fiery Australian.
