Jack Draper backs Sinner as return from ban nears: ‘He doesn’t deserve any hate’

Jack Draper has stood up for his friend Jannik Sinner after speaking out against him during their professional tennis rivalry, emphasizing that the Italian shouldn’t face unnecessary hate. The pair trained together in Monte Carlo ahead of Sinner’s return from a three-month doping ban at the Italian Open, highlighting their strong friendship despite personal disputes. Sinner, who tested positive for clostebol last year and faced an eight-month suspension, is making his comeback home soil after winning the US Open doubles in 2019.
