Sinner to face Taylor Fritz for ATP Finals trophy

Top-ranked Jannik Sinner, who topped Casper Ruud 6-1, 6-2 on Saturday in Turin, Italy, is going to face a very familiar opponent for the trophy at the ATP Finals, taking on Taylor Fritz, the player he beat in the US Open final two months ago.

I met Nadal once many years ago in Mtl. He was staying at the same hotel i was staying at. I found him extremely shy & not very talkative. I also met Andre Agassi a couple of times & he was the opposite of Nadal. In person he was much taller than i expected.

Just a slap on the wrist and you are okay with it? These are professional athletes. While you and I might be indiscriminate about what we put in our bodies these players are supposed to know. I take "heart medications" too (for BP) and she should have known if they are on banned list.
