Australian Open champion Sinner has perhaps had a quicker and more private process while the case was ongoing, which is something that Federer appeared take into consideration.
“I understand the frustration of, ‘Has he been treated the same as others?’ And I think this is where it comes down to,” Federer continued.
“I think we all trust pretty much that Jannik didn’t do anything, but the inconsistency potentially that he didn’t have to sit out while they weren’t 100 percent sure what was going on, I think that’s the question here that needs to be answered. But look, it is what it is, and we need to trust the process as well of anyone involved here.”
Despite the recent controversy surrounding Sinner, the 23-year-old is currently on an eight match winning streak after reaching the US Open quarter-finals.Inside the baseline…It is an interesting coincidence that both Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have commented on this case in interviews over the past 24 hours. Both appear to trust Jannik Sinner and that the outcome, but seem to differ in their views based on the consistency of other cases.
