Jannik Fisherman are playing the quarter-finals of the WE. openface Daniel MedvedevWhile on the circuit some voices continue to criticize the modus operandi carried out when he tested positive, up to two times, in ClostebolThe last to speak on the subject was one of the best tennis players in history: Roger Federer.

ITIA.
“But the possible inconsistency of not having to stop playing when they weren’t 100% sure what was going on, I think that’s the question that needs to be answered. We also need to trust the process of everyone involved here,” Federer added in statements to Today’s showIn New York.
Federer continued to speak about the case: “A lot of people may have thought, ‘Was Sinner treated like the others?’ “That’s the point of this whole story. That’s the question that needs to be answered, but that’s the way it is, and we have to trust the process and the people involved.” “It’s not something we want to see in our sport, that kind of news, whether he did something or not, or a player did it. It’s just noise that we don’t want,” he added.
The former Swiss tennis player also spoke about the condition Sinner has been subjected to in recent months: “I understand it’s a complicated situation. “It’s the nightmare of the athlete and the team when they accuse you of something like that because we go through the checks and fill out forms every day. It ends up living with you. Every morning when you wake up you think: ‘Did someone knock on the door to take the test?’ So it’s really difficult.”
Roger Federer and Jannik Sinner
Finally, Federer reiterated his view not on Sinner but on the way the case was handled: “We are all pretty sure that Jannik did nothing wrong, but the question that needs to be answered is not so much about his innocence as about the possible inconsistency of the whole procedure, due to the fact that Sinner was not forced to stop when there was not one hundred percent certainty of what was happening.
Nadal also spoke
Federer’s message came just hours after he Rafa Nadal will talk about the subject. This was in his interview on Monday at The anthill: “Ultimately, I trust in the good faith of the people and I do not believe in any case that Sinner wanted to take drugs. Nor do I believe that we should love justice only when it is resolved as we think,” said the Spanish tennis player.
Nadal, on the other hand, does not believe in the preferential treatment because he is the number 1 in world tennis. “I do not believe that because it is Sinner, they will not punish him and if it was someone else, yes. I believe it and I am really convinced of it,” he added. The two legends trust the Italian, but not so much in the way everything was handled.
