Serena could be banned for 20 years if caught doping like Sinner

In an interview with Time magazine, former world No. 1 tennis player Serena Williams unexpectedly mentioned Jannik Sinner’s doping scandal. Serene even affirmed that she could be banned for 20 years, stripped of all Grand Slam titles instead of a 3-month ban like her junior, if caught doping:

“I love Sinner. He was born for tennis. I’ve been put down too much, so I don’t want to put down anyone. But honestly, I would be banned for 20 years and stripped of all Grand Slam titles if I were caught doping.”

Andy Roddick reveals about Federer’s terrible knee injury

Former world No. 1 Andy Roddick recently revealed about the knee injury that forced legendary Federer to retire in 2022.

On his Podcast channel, Roddick said: “I don’t think people really understand how bad his knee was, and how many times the surgery didn’t go as planned. Not only playing tennis, but even playing doubles, after he finished Laver Cup was very risky. When I met him at Laver Cup in 2021, he was on crutches and even hid it when taking pictures. His knee was really bad.”

The 20-time Grand Slam champion – who has been relatively injury-free throughout his long career – noticed his knee starting to deteriorate shortly after the 2020 Australian Open. Federer had made it to the semi-finals in a near-miraculous fashion despite being in poor shape at the time. People still remember his hard-fought victories over John Millman and Tennys Sandgren at that year’s “Happy Slam”, before he was completely defeated by Novak Djokovic.
