The Court of Arbitration for Sport was set to hear the case in April, but on February 15, WADA announced Sinner had accepted a three-month suspension to settle the case.

I went down the rabbit hole and found this, a Wimbledon final won by default. The great Weller Evans recalled the 1969 U.S. Open between Rod Laver and Tony Roche. Owing to rain, the match was played on a Tuesday and even then, they used a helicopter to dry the grass court. Laver won (consecrating his second Grand Slam) while wearing track spikes.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced that tennis player Jannik Sinner was just one among 67 athletes who have reached a suspension agreement with the organization, amid favoritism allegations about his three-month ban.

Tennis faces a new crisis of perception despite following its own rules on integrity. The two-tiered resentment is not going to fade away.

Last Saturday, it was announced that the world's best player, Jannik Sinner, had negotiated a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) over offences committed last March, and would be banned for just three months.

Jannik Sinner has accepted a three-month ban after WADA concluded the Italian did not intend to cheat. Sinner's innocence appears less important than the process.

The men's world No. 1 will miss several tournaments, but no Grand Slams. Here's what to know about the doping proceedings against him.
