Tennis: Jannik Sinner to the final against Carlos Alcaraz – after the appeal: “Sensitive time”

Defending champion Sinner won 6-3,7-6(7-3) against home favorite Bu Yunchaokete in his semi-final while world number three Alcaraz won against Daniil Medvedev 7-5,6-3.

Sinner’s acquittal after ingesting the anabolic steroid clostebol via his physio’s fingers during a massage has been appealed by Wada to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Cas.

– It is a very sensitive time for me, very difficult and very different. I take every victory as a good sign, said the 23-year-old after his 15th straight victory according to NRK.

The final will be played on Wednesday

The final is played on Wednesday in a shoehorned season schedule.

If Sinner were to be convicted by Cas, a two-year suspension would probably await, as the doping was judged to be accidental. He would then get rid of all the results since March, where the title in the US Open is the main merit.
