Dimitrov led world No 1 Sinner by two sets to love in the fourth round of Wimbledon – then, sporting tragedy struck

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.

Djokovic is looking for a record-tying eighth Wimbledon title, but Sinner has beaten him in their last four meetings, including in French Open semifinal.

Ben Shelton lost in straight sets to top-ranked men's tennis pro Jannik Sinner, who moves on to face Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of Wimbledon.
