Tennis World USA on MSNJannik Sinner's classy tribute to injured Grigor Dimitrov: 'He deserved to win'World no. 1 Jannik Sinner will compete in his fourth consecutive Wimbledon quarter-final. However, it did not feel like a victory for the Italian. Jannik endured a massive scare against Grigor Dimitrov on Centre Court and came through in the worst possible way.
Jannik Sinner has been treated for a painful right elbow by a trainer at Wimbledon during a medical timeout in the second set while trailing in his fourth-round match against Grigor Dimitrov.
WADA accepted Sinner’s explanation that he was accidentally contaminated by a massage from his physiotherapist, who used a spray containing the banned substance to treat a finger cut. They ruled that Sinner ‘did not intend to cheat’ but insisted that he was responsible for his team’s negligence, which ultimately saw him punished.
Djokovic is looking for a record-tying eighth Wimbledon title, but Sinner has beaten him in their last four meetings, including in French Open semifinal.
