This retirement was particularly devastating given Dimitrov’s recent history. Over the past year, he had been forced to withdraw from four consecutive Grand Slams due to various injuries.

Jannik Sinner has been treated for a painful right elbow by a trainer at Wimbledon during a medical timeout in the second set while trailing in his fourth-round match against Grigor Dimitrov.

WADA accepted Sinner’s explanation that he was accidentally contaminated by a massage from his physiotherapist, who used a spray containing the banned substance to treat a finger cut. They ruled that Sinner ‘did not intend to cheat’ but insisted that he was responsible for his team’s negligence, which ultimately saw him punished.
