Novak Djokovic feels that chatter surrounding the Jannik Sinner doping case isn’t helping tennis and called for a quick resolution on the matter. Sinner had failed two drug tests in March but was cleared by tennis authorities

Novak Djokovic expressed hope on Wednesday that the doping case involving current world number one Jannik Sinner would be “resolved as soon as possible.” Djokovic also reiterated his concerns about the “inconsistencies” in the tennis anti-doping system. Sinner had failed two drug tests in March but was cleared by tennis authorities, allowing him to continue competing.

However, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced on Saturday that it had filed an appeal, seeking a ban of up to two years for the Italian player. Djokovic, speaking at the Shanghai Masters, acknowledged that the situation must be “very tough” for Sinner and previously noted that some players questioned whether Sinner’s ranking had influenced the decision to clear him.
