Sinner’s title and positive test bombshell - our reaction

Sinner’s title and positive test bombshell - our reaction

It had already been a dramatic week in tennis but the sport was rocked on Tuesday when news came out that Jannik Sinner had twice tested positive for a banned substance in March. The world number one has been cleared of any wrongdoing and won't serve a suspension, but lots of questions remain. Catherine, David and Matt react to it all, detail the player reaction so far, and discuss what it means for Sinner, the sport, and the anti-doping process in tennis.

Elsewhere, there's chat about Sinner's title run in Cincinnati, all the controversy surrounding the end of Felix Auger-Aliassime and Jack Draper, Aryna Sabalenka's awesome performances in Cincinnati, tough losses for Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz, and how it all sets up the US Open.
