How much money has Jannik Sinner earned on court since he failed two drug tests?
Jannik Sinner’s tennis world could have fallen apart when he posted a positive drug test at the 2024 Indian Wells Masters, but his story since then has been more lucrative than anyone else in tennis.
Sinner tested positive for a banned substance twice and was controversially allowed to continue playing before he was absolved of fault or negligence by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA).
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) appealed against that verdict and has asked for Sinner to be banned for two years, but Sinner accepted a three-money ban earlier this year as he brought an end to the controversial case.
If he had been banned after that Indian Wells positive test, as he could have been while waiting to appeal against the positive test, but he was allowed to continue playing in a decision that sparked plenty of debate.
Sinner went on to win his first event after his failed drug test at the Miami Open, collecting prize money of $1,100,000.
