Men's ATP Tour singles world No. 1 star Jannick Sinner is still showing grievances after his comeback from doping.

Sinner said in an interview with Italian TV on the 1st Beijing time: "I hope that people who have not done anything wrong will not go through what I have experienced again." ”
Sinner received a three-month ban in February for testing positive for doping. He can start competing at the ATP Tour's BNL Italy International, which opened in Rome, Italy, on the 7th. Sinner tested positive for doping in March last year and initially ended with no other ban, but was punished with a three-month ban in February.
Sinner's three-month ban is still blamed for "inconsequential punishment". To this reaction around him, Sinner replied: "Everyone has the freedom to speak, so I don't really want to care. Last year was really stressful. "Before the Australian Open in January, I felt a change in the perception of people around me," he admitted. I think it's time to take a break after the Australian Open (in addition to the ban). Sinner added: "I know I didn't do anything wrong, so it's hard to accept the three-month penalty." ”
Sinner won the US Open men's singles title in September after testing positive for doping in March last year, and also won the Australian Open this year. In addition, after the three-month ban, he can also participate in the French Open, a Grand Slam tournament that starts at the end of this month, following the Australian Open. Reflecting on his comeback, Sinner said: "I'm very happy to be able to play soon after the disciplinary period is over. I'm ready to race again. ”
