US Open champion Jannik Sinner said he was proud to come through the difficulties of his anti-doping controversy to claim his second Grand Slam title.
Sinner came into the season's final Slam under the cloud of a case which saw him allowed to carry on competing despite two positive tests in March. Some prominent voices in the game thought Sinner was lucky not to be suspended, but he put all that to one side to claim a second Slam title of the year by ending Taylor Fritz's American dream in New York.
' Sinner has denied any wrongdoing over his failed tests and was absolved of fault or negligence by the International Tennis Integrity Agency . An independent tribunal accepted Sinner's explanation that clostebol, an anabolic agent that can aid muscle growth, had accidentally entered his system via a product one of his team had used to treat a small wound.
