Novak Djokovic speaks out on the recent doping case of Jannik Sinner in the press conference prior to the start of the US Open 2024: “Situations like these are why we created the PTPA. 

The player is paramount, the rights of the tennis players, making sure we cover everything. 

We fight for fair, clear, and standardized protocols for these cases. I understand the players’ frustration because there’s a lack of consistency.”

“As I understand it, his case was clarified when it was made public, five or six months after his team was notified of the news. There are many issues within the system. 

I hope that the government bodies in our sport can learn from this case to have a better approach in the future. 

I believe there needs to be a change. Many players have faced similar situations and have not had the same outcomes. 

The question is whether it’s about resources, if a player can pay a significant sum to a law firm to efficiently represent them. I don’t know if that’s the case. We need to investigate so that we can standardize something so that every player, regardless of their ranking or status, can receive equal treatment.”
