For months, the tennis world has simmered with controversy in the wake of two doping cases involving top-ranking players: first, men’s player Jannik Sinner and months later, women’s player Iga Świątek. And when the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced on February 15 that Sinner had accepted a three-month ban to settle his case and avoid it going to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), it thrust the issue back into the spotlight once again, particularly as the ban length means the Italian player won’t miss any grand slam tournaments. “The anti-doping process is just all over the map, and it’s completely rogue,” Vasek Pospisil – a…

All the early mornings, the rigorous training, the unrelenting pressure, the moments of her childhood she was missing: it was time for her to do something else. She had become the youngest U.S. women’s champion ever at 13, then she won the national title again at 14.
