Jannik Sinner Cruises To US Open Semifinal Amid Doping "Noise" | First Sports With Rupha Ramani

the US Open has celebrated their own home stars six American semi-finalists across categories is phenomenal and while the US command did create a lot of Buzz the noise around Yanik sin is loud and not because of his tennis alone the Italian Star managed to evade a doping punishment right before the US Open started this despite testing positive for a ban substance not once but twice C was leted off and that created a huge appro in the tennis world and with a 23-year-old just two wins away from his second Grand Slam title both coming this year it would be it is now getting to be a loud Den the world number one reached the semi-final earlier today beating Danel medev in a fouret showdown even with a minor hiccup in the second set the Italians still managed to hold on to the match and beat the Russian 6216 6164 with this win he's the only top 10 player left in the Grand Slam so all the spotlight is on sinner but that was the case even before the US Open Grand Slam began because cner started the year on a high with a win of the Australian Open world number one of course after that and four ATP Tour titles in the season so far so it was expected to be another dominant year for him but as the year progressed the Italian failed at Wimbledon the French Open and even had to withdraw from the Olympics in the middle of the slump of course came the doping Scandal so everything is riding on the US Open for I will now put this challenging and deeply unfortunate period behind me it's an amazing City amazing place to play tennis so I want to enjoy as much as I can and hopefully have a good tournament the tennis world though was heavily divided on the verdict Nick Kos and others continued to hit back at the decision as they questioned the preferential treatment that sinner had received the Under Fire world number one found some support in Rafael Nadal I don't believe believe in that sinner wanted or meant to dope Justice is Justice and we don't have to like it only when they decide what we want them to decide if he hasn't been sanctioned it's because the judge has clearly seen that he hasn't doped I don't think they have judged him as innocent simply because he's the world number one some respite for Italian there but given the rage fans and many in the tennis world expressed Over The Sinner verdict Nadal defending him was met with Civ [Music] resentment so clearly even as sinner was quietly notching up the winds the jibes and disgruntled comments were not stopping a tournament that s expected Ed to be a Redemption of sorts has slowly turned into a very frigid cold Zone with every prominent voice in the tennis world accusing IIA of getting this [Music] [Music] wrong now you can understand the anguish someone like Simona halop expresses because halip herself had to stay away from tennis for almost a year had IA been strict with Sinner and not accepted his reasoning the Italian would have been watching the US Open from his home on TV screens instead of playing in it while leading tennis players and his biggest competitors Novak jovic and Carlos alcaras didn't pick sides Roger fedra statement created quite the flutter I understand the frustration about has he been treated the same as others I think I think we all trk that Yanik didn't do anything but the inconsistency potentially that he'd have to sit out while they were not 100% sure about what was going on I think that's the question here that needs to be answered it's not something we want to see in our sport this type of news regardless of whether he did something or not it's just noise that we don't want Federal statement highlights why there is such an outcry over this subject the anguish isn't against sinner in particular but the system that allowed him to walk away while While others before him had to face the brunt of it siners is of course stuck in the middle of this his biggest Quest then is to silence it all shut the Noise by doing what he knows and does best which is Win play good solid tennis and win the US Open title will not make it all go away unfortunately but it will be the redemption sinner is hoping to earn climate change is on our
