After losing the match in the Davis Cup final in Malaga with the score of 7-6 6-2, the Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor complimented Jannik Sinner for the level he expressed, then letting himself go with a comment on the Clostebol affair that has been in the news for several months and is still unresolved.

Jannik Sinner was in the locker room, getting ready to go on court and try to win a match that would give Italy its second Davis Cup title in a row, when his teammate, Matteo Berrettini, was asked about being so close to a championship.

Will 2024 be remembered as the year Jannik Sinner produced one of the all-time great seasons or for the doping asterisk attached to his results? The jury is, quite literally, still out.
