ATP number one Jannik Sinner is still haunted by his past. Despite clinching another Grand Slam title, the Italian player showed signs of worry. The reason? Lingering criticisms following his doping trials in March. While Sinner clarified the confusion, his recent comments on the matter reveal the unfortunate incident’s impact on his mental health. Despite his anxiety, Sinner’s statement highlights the benefits of support from loved ones during such challenging times.

Jannik Sinner made history by winning his debut US Open title yesterday. While his impressive performance at the American Grand Slam left spectators in awe, the Italian can’t forget the dark days involving his failures in doping trials. Ahead of Sinner’s US Open participation this year, his failures in two doping tests sparked much outrage within the tennis fraternity. Sinner tested positive for Clostebol during the Indian Wells Masters and lost the tournament’s prize money following a short suspension. While the Italian’s coach Darren Cahill, cleared the air about Sinner’s complete unawareness of the situation, some tennis supporters still lashed out at the player.

Sinner was also accused of receiving extra benefits from the ATP since his suspension was shorter than those of other players, like Simona Halep. Despite all this, the ATP number one won his maiden US Open title by defeating Taylor Fritz at Arthur Ashe Stadium. After his victory, Jannik Sinner attended a press conference and revealed whether his ill-fated doping saga had been erased from his mind.

“That was always my the people who are close to me daily, people who know me already when from when I was very young and also my family and my team and everyone who supports me daily and you know I always try to stick together with them especially when the moments are getting difficult and tough because I know that they can help me in this moments and it was and it’s still a little bit in my mind. It’s not that it’s gone but it’s when I’m on court I try to focus about the game,” said the Italian.

While Sinner’s statement expressed how his close ones and family kept his spirit high, it also reflected the disappointment of the Italian, who felt he had failed his doping trials unnecessarily. However, Sinner’s comment showed how his challenging days helped him see the positivity in life. After his US Open win, Sinner dropped a heartwarming statement that captured his sentiment perfectly.
