Paris –The climate alRoland-Garros 2025It becomes more and more incandescent. After the shock statements of the Tournament DirectorAmélie Mauresmo, who launched a hard and veiled message againstJannik SinnerRegarding doping, the firm reaction ofJasmine Paolini, current number 1 of Italy in the WTA circuit and semifinalist at the Parisian tournament.
During an interview on the sidelines of morning training, Paolini publicly took the defenses of the South Tennist, declaring without hesitation:
“It is not guilty. It is the number 1 in the world because he has worked more than anyone else. Pointing his finger at him without any proof is unjust and irresponsible.”
According to sources close to the male locker room,Some players would have stopped training with Sinner, others would avoid any direct contact with the Italian tennis player. Although there are no official press releases, the signals of asilent boycottThey are becoming more and more evident.
In this context, Paolini’s words resonate like an alarm cry:
“You cannot destroy the reputation of an athlete based on illications. Sinner is suffering from this hostile climate, and nobody seems to worry about his mental health.”
Jasmine Paolini was not limited to defending his compatriot. In a direct attack on the CEO of Roland-Garros, he pronouncedTen very heavy words:
“Your control is not rigor, it is persecution without evidence or humanity.”
A phrase that quickly made the tour of the social networks, turning on even more the debate on the balance between the fight against doping and the protection of players’ rights.
At the moment, neither Mauresmo nor the direction of the tournament officially responded to the accusations of Paolini. However, silence risks appearing as a confirmation of an attitude judged by manyexcessively punitive and not very transparent.
Jannik Sinner continues to train, avoiding controversy. His entourage reiterated that the athlete isClean, available for any control and concentrated only on tennis.
But it is undeniable: the case is growing and could explode in the middle of the tournament. Roland-Garros, which has always been a symbol of elegance and sportiness, risks this year to be remembered more for controversy than for the game.
