Jannik Sinner is "very surprised and disappointed" after Wada, the World Anti-Doping Agency, appealed to the CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) against the acquittal of the world number one Italian tennis player in relation to the Clostebol case . Despite the bolt from the blue, Sinner is optimistic and is convinced that, in the end, "I will be found innocent".

The Italian tennis player, after qualifying for the next round at the Beijing tournament , said he had learned "privately" of the World Anti-Doping Agency's move "a couple of days ago". "It's not easy, because I thought it was over. But it's not over yet and I can't control everything", added the champion who has now decided to "concentrate as much as possible on tennis, as much as I can. It's not very easy at the moment. Let's see what comes out, we had three hearings and I came out innocent. And this is very positive. There are certain things you can never change".

" I am quite confident that it will be the same this time, that it will turn out that I am innocent. I think it is obvious" - continues Sinner - that "in my head I know that I have done nothing wrong. But now let's see what the CAS will say, which is the last hearing".
