Sinner and WADA reached an out-of-court settlement, and the world No. 1 position will change hands after being banned for 3 months?

World No. 1 Sinner has been officially banned for three months! While this incident surprised the outside world, it also quickly sent the Italians to the hot search of public opinion.

The outside world was shocked by this news for two reasons: one is that the previous information from all parties showed that Sinner would be banned for at least one year, and then he would be next to the football king; Second, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) hearing against the Italians has been set for April 16-17, and everyone is waiting to see how Sinner's anti-drug lawsuit will reach its climax.

Unexpectedly, when the hearing was getting closer, foreign media suddenly reported that Sinner and the World Anti-Doping Agency had reached a settlement, and the one-year ban period rumored by the outside world was instantly shortened to three months, which caused an uproar in public opinion.

Sinner's banned drug scandal stemmed from last year's Indian Wells Masters, during which the Italian was tested positive twice, and afterwards Sinner tried to justify himself because the masseur was treating him with a hand injury that accidentally penetrated, and even finally expelled the culprit from the team, as if he wanted to prove his innocence in this way and get everyone's understanding.

After the drug scandal broke out, there was a lot of criticism about the way the International Tennis Integrity Agency concealed it, and finally only banned Sinner for a short time. Insiders including Kyrgios, Shapovalov, Halep and other insiders have expressed their dissatisfaction with this, especially Kyrgios has repeatedly made shocking remarks, strongly demanding that the relevant institutions level the matter in order to show the fairness and justice of competitive sports.

Although this incident caused a lot of trouble on the public side, Sinner's mood at the US Open last year did not seem to be affected much, and he kept reiterating that he was innocent and that this matter was in the past.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the World Anti-Doping Agency decided that the punishment of Sinner by the International Tennis Integrity Agency was problematic and decided to sue the Italian to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. After the Italian, who was competing at the China Open at the time, learned of the news, his level in the competition was suddenly completely different from before, and he was also regarded as affected by the outside world, especially the sentence "I am very disappointed with this result", which vividly showed Sinner's inner helplessness.

Since the hearing of the Court of Arbitration for Sport has not been determined, all parties have analyzed Sinner's drug ban lawsuit and believe that the world number one will not escape the punishment of a one-year ban.

"I believe that the 'no fault or negligence' decision will be overturned and penalized when the appeal is heard. I would say this is a very, very special case. In an interview with the Sydney Herald, Tim Fuller, a well-known Australian sports lawyer, said about Sinner's doping prosecution that it was highly unlikely that the Italians would eventually want to get out.

The reason why Fuller's words made many people believe that in addition to being a legal professional in this area, he had also represented Sinner in exactly the same lawsuit before, and finally lost. Therefore, when he bluntly stated that the Italian would be banned for at least a year, almost no one doubted his words.

Not long after Fuller's remarks about the punishment of Sinner's lawsuit over the drug scandal were announced, a senior official of the World Anti-Doping Agency also publicly stated that the Italian would be banned for a year, confirming the prediction of the famous Australian sports lawyer.

In addition, when the outside world is paying attention to Sinner's drug ban scandal lawsuit, there is still a hot discussion about one thing, that is, if the world No. 1 is banned for one year at that time, will Zverev, who is currently ranked second, benefit from this, easily pick the peach of the football king in his heart, and realize the dream of being the world No. 1 in one fell swoop.

The plan did not change quickly, and no one expected that Sinner would finally reach a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency out of court, so that the predicted one-year ban became three months in an instant.

Sinner's suspension period begins on Feb. 9 and ends on May 4. This also means that the Italians will definitely not be able to participate in this year's North American Sunshine Doubles, but it will not affect their participation in the French Open. This news is definitely great news for the world No. 1, after all, this matter will always be a problem for him if it is not resolved for a day, and now Sinner can finally sleep well.

"The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) was so resolute at the time, how it could suddenly be reconciled, it's really puzzling." For Sinner to basically successfully land safely from the banned drug scandal, many fans and netizens expressed their puzzlement.

According to relevant media, Sinner and his team must have done a lot of work during this period, which also shows that the Italian is indeed the first in the world, and indeed has a great power that ordinary people do not have.

Of course, there is an argument that this ban proposal was put forward by the World Anti-Doping Agency, and Sinner had other ideas at first, but later thought that it would not be beneficial for him to drag on the lawsuit for too long, and Sinner also felt that he was responsible, and also believed that "the strict rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency are important for tennis", so it was logical that the settlement of this matter was not possible before, and it ended this high-profile anti-drug prosecution lawsuit.

So will Sinner fall out of the top of the ball within three months of his ban? Not likely!

The Italian scored 400 points in the semi-finals at Indian Wells last year, 1,000 points from Miami, 400 points from Monte Carlo and 200 points from the quarterfinals in Madrid. With Indian Wells' points deducted, Sinner's current 11,330 points dropped to 9,730 points, even if they were deducted from the 1,600 points during the ban, compared to Alcaraz, who was second with 8,135 points and third with 7,410 points. In addition, the former will be deducted 950 points during Sinner's ban, the latter will have to deduct 1400 points, Zverev Jr. needs 2550 points to achieve the top of the rankings, and Alcaraz needs 3725 points, and it is almost certain that Sinner will fall out of the world No. 1 is very likely.

Unless Zverev Jr. and Alcaraz play hard during Sinner's ban and win both titles, they may be able to climb to the top of the ball, and after the Madrid Masters, Sinner will still be the world No. 1 and no one can replace him.(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
