Jannik Sinner Faces Criticism at US Open

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner remains composed about the prospect of being interviewed by Nick Kyrgios at the US Open, despite Kyrgios's outspoken criticism regarding Sinner's recent doping controversy. Kyrgios, now working with ESPN, called for a two-year ban on Sinner following two positive tests for Clostebol, a banned steroid, which Sinner claims entered his system accidentally through massage cream. After being cleared of fault by an independent tribunal, Sinner advanced in the tournament by defeating Alex Michelsen 6-4, 6-0, 6-2. He expressed a willingness to move past Kyrgios's comments, asserting that everyone is entitled to their opinions. Sinner acknowledged that an interview with Kyrgios would be 'different' but maintained his relaxed demeanor, emphasizing that he tends to forget such criticisms quickly. As he prepares for his next match against Christopher O’Connell, Sinner remains focused on his performance.
