"Jannik Sinner and the doping situation should be game set match. To rewind the tape is way beyond a make up call to satisfy chirping about integrity and fairness. This has zero to do with him being the best of the Best so the chirpers need to move on and give it a Rest," Rick Macci wrote on X.

Zverev recently revealed that he had re-hired his fitness coach Jez Green after the duo split in 2021. Green has previously worked with Andy Murray during the Brit's glory days.
"I'm back with Jez Green, I worked with him for seven years, and we kind of had a split for three years, and we're back together. So, for me the physical aspect probably was the most important of the off-season for sure. I feel like I've lost one or two matches last year because I got tired, which I don't want to happen this year," Alexander Zverev said.
