Sinner tested positive twice for an anabolic steroid during the 2024 Indian Wells Tournament. He tested positive for a substance called Clostebol, which is notably banned in tennis, and he was first popped for the steroid during Indian Wells, and then again eight days later in an out-of-competition sample.
Alexander Zverev explained the difference between the current dominance of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner and the years when the Big Three – Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic – shared dominance of the ATP Tour.
Carlos Alcaraz has five career Grand Slam titles, with two Wimbledon championships, two French Open titles and a U.S. Open victory. He won his first major at the 2022 U.S. Open, then won back-to-back Wimbledons in 2023 and 2024 and back-to-back French Opens at 2024 and 2025.
The degree to which is not yet clear. It's also not clear whether the world's number 1 ranked tennis player will also be sidelined from future Wimbledon play due to the injury. Sinner gave an update on the elbow injury during his post-match press conference.
