🚨 Explosive scandal at the US Open 2025! Sinner at the center of a new controversy! 🚨
The world of tennis was shaken by a new earthquake on August 31, 2025, while Jannik Sinner, number 1 in the world, is preparing for the fourth round of the US Open. After his win in the third round against Denis Shapovalov, a shocking accusation from the Canadian sparked a storm: Shapovalov claimed that Sinner used a hidden microphone in his wrist band to receive instructions from his coach, Darren Cahill. The CEO of the US Open, Stacey Allater, replied by ordering a search of Sinner’s personal effects, but the replica of Italian –12 sharp words – has silenced the critics, leaving the fans in visible and the media in a vortex of speculation.

The accusation of Shapovalov
During the third round match, won by Sinner 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (5), Shapovalov reported to the referees an alleged device in the Louis Vuitton band of Sinner, insinuating illegal communications during the decisive tiebreak. “It is not normal to be so calm in those moments,” Shapovalov said in a press conference, broadcast by TV tennis. He asked for an immediate revision and a possible disqualification, evoking previous disputes such as that of Vit Kopriva, who had accused Sinner of a touch of racket not detected. The move has inflamed X, with #sinnermic who reached millions of views.

Allaster, under pressure to guarantee fairness, announced a search of Sinner’s personal effects, an unprecedented decision in a Grand Slam. “Transparency is our priority,” said CEO. The accusation arrives in a delicate moment for Sinner, back from a 2025 marked by wrist injuries and controversy, such as the retreat to Cincinnati and the comparison with Carlos Alcaraz.
Sinner’s master’s response
Sinner, known for his composure, faced the accusation on August 31 in a press conference in Flushing Meadows. With a decisive smile, he delivered his band to the officers Usa, saying: “Check also, my strength is in the heart, not in a microphone.” The 12 words, pronounced calmly glacial, transformed the accusation into a moment of triumph. The search, conducted live, found nothing, exonerating Sinner and making Shapovalov pass as the culprit of an unfounded accusation.
The answer exploded X, with #sinnerinnocente trending globally. “Sinner destroyed Shapovalov with class,” he tweeted @forzajannikfan. Italian fans shared clips of his performance, with 18 ace and 80% of points won on the first service, while the Gazzetta dello Sport defined the moment “a manifesto of integrity”. Serena Williams also praised Sinner, tweeting: “Jannik is an example for everyone.”
The world of divided tennis
The accusation split the tennis community. Shapovalov supporters, like @tennisunderdog, insisted: “Something is there, Sinner is too perfect.” But most criticized the Canadian, with @Rallypoint99 who wrote: “Shapovalov has lost and now invents apologies.” Analysts, like John Mcenroe on Espn, defended Sinner: “He is a pure champion, these accusations are ridiculous.” The Usta confirmed that there will be no penalties for Sinner, but Shapovalov risks a fine for anti -sports conduct.
The drama adds to an already turbulent tournament, with the introduction of the Super Tiebreak in the quarterfinals and the continuous speculations on Sinner’s health. His $ 100,000 donation to a New York pediatric hospital and the $ 5 million partnership with Louis Vuitton have strengthened his image, but the injured wrist remains a concern.
What happens now?
With Sinner exonerated, his focus is on the fourth round against the winner between Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe. The new rule of the Super Tiebreak adds pressure, but Sinner seems imperturbable. “Jannik is ready for everything,” Cahill said. In the meantime, Shapovalov faces a public backlash, with fans asking for official apologies.
X is in turmoil, with memes on the “magic band” of Sinner and #usopendrama that dominates the trends. Will Sinner manage to keep calm and march towards the title, or will the controversy slow down it? Tuned on Espn or TV tennis for live coverage of the US Open 2025, and join the X debate with #sinnerinnocente. Sinner’s response has transformed a crisis into a triumph of character!
