Jannik Sinner was appealed by the World Anti-Doping Agency, the Montreal-based body announced Saturday.
WADA said it is seeking a ban of one to two years for the U.S. Open champion but indicated that it does not plan to back date an eventual ban — which would mean that Sinner could keep his second Grand Slam title if he is found guilty.
The announcement was made while Sinner was on court against Roman Safiullin at the China Open in Beijing.
“Obviously, I'm very disappointed and also surprised of this appeal, to be honest, because we had three hearings. All three hearings came out very positively for me,” the 23-year-old Sinner said after beating Safiullin.
“You know, I was not expecting it. I knew it couple of days ago, that they were going to appeal, that today it's going to go official, so… it's surprise,” he added. “We always talk about the same thing. Maybe they just want to make sure that everything is in the right position. Yeah, I'm just surprised that they appealed.”
