Reporters have taken the opportunity to ask Jannik Sinner about the recent speculation surrounding his use of banned substances.
“We are at the stage where we don’t know many things,” Sinner answers. “It is what it is. I am here trying to prepare for a grand slam.”

“In my mind I know exactly what happened. And that’s how I block it. I haven’t done anything wrong – that’s why I’m still here.”
When speaking on whether he is now nervous about taking medicines or eating certain foods, Sinner is clear – “No”.
“Because I’ve done the same thing before… I was very, very careful [with] every single medicine that I [took]… I was always very, very careful, and I haven’t changed.”
The Italian also responds relatively curtly when a reporter asks about the reaction surrounding the doping tests from others on the tour – specifically mentioning online posts made by Australian Nick Kyrgios.
“I don’t think I have to answer this, to be honest… I don’t want to respond to what Nick says, or what any other player says,” Sinner says.
