Tennis faces a new crisis of perception despite following its own rules on integrity. The two-tiered resentment is not going to fade away.

Jannik Sinner has accepted a three-month ban from tennis to settle a case which has lingered over the sport for months after he twice tested positive for a banned substance, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced on Saturday.

The men's world No. 1 will miss several tournaments, but no Grand Slams. Here's what to know about the doping proceedings against him.

Despite testing positive for a banned substance, Tennis world number one Jannik Sinner has only been banned for three months. Novak Djokovic spoke of "favoritism," while Alexander Zverev called the case "odd.

The timing means the 23-year-old Italian won't miss any Grand Slam tournaments. The French Open, the season's next major, starts May 25.

The famous newspaper 'L'Equipe' published a letter written by Ion Tiriac, who expressed a very harsh opinion after the agreement between Sinner and WADA.

Many in the tennis world are expressing skepticism with the process that led to Sinner's three-month suspension

Novak Djokovic believes that “favoritism” is damaging tennis’ anti-doping system as several players speak out in light of Jannik Sinner’s three-month ban.

Novak Djokovic has claimed the majority of players believe Jannik Sinner was shown "favouritism" with his three-month doping ban. Italian Sinner reached a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) over two positive drug tests in March last year.
