After his victory at the 2024 US Open, Jannik Sinner acknowledged that the doping controversy surrounding his two positive tests for clostebol in March is still weighing on his mind. The International Tennis Integrity Agency cleared him of wrongdoing, citing accidental contamination, but Sinner faced backlash and accusations of preferential treatment. Despite this, he maintained focus during the tournament, winning his second Grand Slam title without dropping a set in the final against Taylor Fritz. Sinner expressed that while the situation has been difficult, he is grateful for the support from fans and players. He emphasized the importance of staying mentally focused on his game amid the controversy. The Italian has had an impressive season, winning six titles and extending his hard court Grand Slam winning streak to two.
