Sinner, 23, won the Australian Open, US Open and ATP Finals before this Davis Cup triumph, but admitted he’s unable to play with a clear head, awaiting the outcome of the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) appeal against his initial exoneration for twice testing positive for traces of the steroid clostebol in March.
Sinner said: “It’s in the head a little bit. The important part is the people who know me, trust me. That’s also why I kept playing the level I have. I was emotionally a bit down, a bit heartbroken. Sometimes life gives you difficulties and you just have to [deal with] it.”
