Sinner tested positive twice for an anabolic steroid during the 2024 Indian Wells Tournament. He tested positive for a substance called Clostebol, which is notably banned in tennis, and he was first popped for the steroid during Indian Wells, and then again eight days later in an out-of-competition sample.

THE ALL ENGLAND CLUB, LONDON — There are only two players who have been able to knock Ben Shelton out of Grand Slams this year: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. That’s good news and bad for Shelton, who exited Wimbledon in the quarterfinals Wednesday afternoon as Sinner sent him home, 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4.

Jannik Sinner would have been forgiven for spending the last month licking the open wounds from his French Open final defeat by Carlos Alcaraz, but the Italian said the experience had been beautiful after kicking off his Wimbledon campaign on Tuesday.
