Jannik Sinner<\/a> says the doping case hanging over his season makes him feel \u201cuncomfortable\u201d, after the World Anti-Doping Agency<\/a> (Wada) lodged an appeal against the International Tennis Integrity Agency\u2019s (ITIA) decision to clear him of wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

Sinner twice tested positive for the banned anabolic steroid clostebol in March.<\/p>\n

The case was kept secret until August, when the ITIA announced that Sinner would face no consequences after his legal team argued to an independent tribunal that the world No 1 had been contaminated by his physio<\/a> during a massage.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Sinner\u2019s lawyers said that his fitness trainer purchased a spray \u201ceasily available over the counter in any Italian pharmacy\u201d which was given to his physiotherapist, Giocomo Naldi, to help treat a minor cut on the physio\u2019s finger. Naldi regularly massaged Sinner during the Indian Wells tournament without wearing gloves.<\/p>\n

They claimed that because the player had \u201cvarious skin lesions\u201d on his body due to a skin condition called psoriasiform dermatitis, the spray \u2013 which contained clostebol \u2013 must have passed from the physio\u2019s hands through to Sinner and caused the \u201cinadvertent contamination\u201d.<\/p>\n

Last week Wada said it would challenge that verdict, and the case will now be settled in the Court of Arbitration for Sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe finding of \u2018no fault or negligence\u2019 was not correct under the applicable rules,\u201d Wada said in a statement. \u201cWada is seeking a period of ineligibility of between one and two years. Wada is not seeking a disqualification of any results, save that which has already been imposed by the tribunal of first instance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the uncertainty over his future, Sinner reached the final of the China Open on Wednesday where he was beaten by Carlos Alcaraz in a thrilling three-set match.<\/p>\n

"It\u2019s not in a situation where I feel comfortable in it, that\u2019s for sure, because I thought it was over,\u201d Sinner said ahead of his next tournament, the Shanghai Masters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not easy. I had three hearings, which went my way, which was good, but now let\u2019s see. But I\u2019m very confident that it comes out very positively.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sinner\u2019s immediate focus is on Shanghai, where he could well come face to face with Alcaraz once more.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The pair are yet to meet in a grand slam final, despite being the two outstanding talents of their generation. But a rivalry is beginning to brew on the court, and their final in Beijing this week suggested it could become one of the great duels of men\u2019s tennis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are quite similar as human beings off the court,\u201d Sinner said of their relationship. \u201cObviously on the court we try to meet, we try to put on a big fight… he pushes me to do better, which is something good.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
