On the eve of his return to the court, Novak Djokovic has weighed in on the tennis’ high profile doping cases and criticized what he perceives as double standards in the sport
BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — On the eve of his return to the court, Novak Djokovic has weighed in on tennis’s high-profile doping cases and criticized what he perceives as double standards in the sport.
The former world No. 1, who is chasing a record 25th Grand Slam title at next month’s Australian Open, expressed his frustration Sunday at being “kept in the dark” regarding top-ranked Jannik Sinner’s doping case.
Djokovic is the top seed in the Brisbane International this week, making his first appearance at the event since 2009. He will also team up with Australia’s Nick Kyrgios in doubles, with the duo headlining Monday’s action.
Off the court, Djokovic lent his voice Sunday to Kyrgios’s strong criticisms made a day earlier, speaking out at length about the ongoing doping case involving current world No.1 Jannik Sinner.
