Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner turned out to be one of the prime contenders for the US Open after the world number one clinched the title at the Cincinnati Masters on August 20.

However, it was just moments later that the 23-year-old found out that he had failed two dope tests that he had taken in March. Sinner, however, avoided the consequences of the test as he said that it was the result of an accidental contamination.
