Italy’s Jannik Sinner’s former coach Riccardo Piatti has disclosed that the alleged doping scandal won’t affect the reigning world number one.
Recall that Sinner is going through a difficult phase in his career. He tested positive for the banned substance clostebol in March last year, and since then, he has come under severe criticism from fellow members of the tennis community.
Reacting to the development, Piatti on a chat with Tennis Update, stated that Sinner can turn a ‘very unpleasant’ situation involving him regarding the doping scandal into ‘something positive’.

“This whole situation has been very unpleasant for Sinner, but I’m sure he’ll turn it into something positive,” said Piatti.
“I think Jannik has a very important card up his sleeve in the coming months to win Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open. I’m sure that during these months of hiatus, Jannik hasn’t stopped.
“During the pandemic, for example, it was one of the most important moments of growth for him. He trained physically three times a week and played tennis every day.”
