Roger Federer News

Roger Federer has questioned why Jannik Sinner was not provisionally suspended after the Italian world No. 1 failed two drugs tests earlier in the year. There were claims that Sinner was receiving preferential treatment. More recently, Sinner admitted that he got a frosty reception in the locker room at the US Open. Federer weighed in on the debate when speaking to NBC, saying: “I understand the frustration of, ‘Has he been treated the same as others?’ And I think this is where it comes down to”. “I think we all trust pretty much that Jannik didn’t do anything, but the inconsistency potentially that he didn’t have to sit out while they weren’t 100 per cent sure what was going on, I think that’s the question that needs to be answered.

Grand Slam season dominated by Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz has provided the clearest sign yet that the «Big Three» era of men's tennis is finally over, with Novak Djokovic destined to be its last year-end number one. The golden rule that you should never write off Djokovic still holds true, but after he, Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer had won at least one Grand Slam title between them every season since 2003, this year there were none. Sinner lifted the U.S. Open title on Sunday following his breakthrough Australian Open triumph in January, while Alcaraz won the French Open and Wimbledon to mark the first time since 1993 that men aged 23 or under had swept the Grand Slams.

Novak Djokovic slumped to his earliest exit at the US Open in 18 years on Friday as a four-set, third round defeat to Alexei Popyrin sparked more questions over his long term future in the sport. The 37-year-old Djokovic, a four-time champion in New York, lost 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 to the 28th-ranked Australian, leaving him frustratingly short once again of winning a record 25th Grand Slam title. His defeat, which saw him hit an uncharacteristic 14 double faults and commit 49 unforced errors, means that for the first time since 2017 he will end the season without a Grand Slam title.

Novak Djokovic was far from convinced he could win Wimbledon when the tournament began less than a month after his surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. «I was just thinking about moving well (and) not injuring myself,» he said. After getting through his first few matches at the All England Club, though, Djokovic thought: «OK, I'm actually playing close to my best, and I can have a shot at the title.» Now he's just one victory away from what would be an eighth championship at Wimbledon — equaling Roger Federer for the most by a man — and a 25th Grand Slam trophy overall, more than any tennis player ever. Won't be easy: On Sunday, Djokovic will face defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in a rematch of last year's Wimbledon final; Kate, the Princess of Wales, is set to be there in a rare public appearance after her cancer diagnosis.
