Tennis star Jannik Sinner revealed he considered walking away from the sport over his recent doping suspension and the reaction to his situation.

Jannik Sinner said he “didn’t feel at ease” during the Australian Open in January and considered taking a break from tennis after he was sanctioned for two anti-doping violations.

Jannik Sinner has revealed he considered quitting tennis amid the fallout from his doping case. The world number one is preparing to return to the sport after agreeing a three-month ban with the World Anti-Doping Agency over the positive tests he returned last March for a banned steroid.
