Novak Djokovic’s statements are traveling around the world and shake the international tennis landscape. The Serbian number one, known for his frankness, has openly spoke of the difficult moment that is going through Jannik Sinner, recently involved in a doping scandal that has raised controversy and doubts in the sports environment.

During a press conference on the sidelines of a tournament, Djokovic expressed his opinion in no uncertain terms:“Jannik is a great talent and a correct boy, but after what happened, he will have to be ready to face a difficult climate at the French open. The French fans are passionate, but also very critical”, said.

The atmosphere around the young South Tyrolean talent has become tense after the spread of news relating to a suspicious anti -doping control. Even if there are still no official penalties and Sinner has proclaimed his innocence, the mere fact of being at the center of an investigation has generated a wave of negative media attention.

Djokovic also added:“I don’t want to judge before the truth comes to the surface, but I know from experience that such a situation can weigh enormously on the mind of an athlete, especially during a Slam like Roland Garros.”

The support of the public is fundamental in the most difficult matches, and to face any whistles or hostility could compromise the concentration and performance of Sinner, now called to demonstrate not only its technical value, but also its mental strength.

Meanwhile, Italian fans and numerous colleagues on the circuit have tightened around Jannik, asking respect for the presumption of innocence and waiting for sports justice to take its course.
