In spite of doping allegations, Jannik Sinner received minimal negative reactions at the U.S. Open. The sparse crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium politely applauded as he entered Tuesday's match against Mackie McDonald.
Sinner struggled at first, but rallied for a 2-6, 6-2, 6-1, 6-2 victory, advancing to the second round. He acknowledged the supportive response from fans, despite the recent storm surrounding his positive tests for Clostebol.
Sinner was docked prize money and ranking points but escaped suspension as it was ruled he inadvertently consumed the substance through a massage. Amid critics and speculation, his on-court performance spoke volumes, securing his place in the next round against Alex Michelsen.
