Six months after Jannik Sinner failed two drug tests, and 2 1/2 weeks after he was exonerated because he said trace amounts of an anabolic steroid entered his system unintentionally via a massage, the No. 1-ranked man in tennis will play in the U.S. Open semifinals.
NEW YORK —
Asked how he's been able to stay focused on court with everything going on off it, Sinner said: “Obviously in the beginning ... was a tough situation. But day by day, it went better. So I’m happy about that. Let’s see now, in the semis, what I can do.”The International Tennis Integrity Agency said on Aug.
“He’s a tough player to play against,” said Medvedev, who lost the final at Melbourne Park in five sets after taking the first two. “He feels the game well. He chooses the right shot at the right moment many times.” Sinner has been to the semifinals at each of the four Slams once and is particularly strong on hard courts, where he is 33-2 with four titles in 2024.He is the only man left in the field who has won a Grand Slam trophy, although Sinner isn't so sure that relative edge in experience matters at this stage.
