Sinner SHOCK as failed drug tests cloud crack at US Open - our reaction

The tennis world is in a state of SHOCK... as it's announced World Number 1 Jannik Sinner has escaped a drugs ban after two failed tests earlier in the year. Join Joel and Chris as they react to this bombshell news that has rocked the ATP Tour as they get to grips with what it means, how the locker room have reacted (Nick Kyrgios has unsurprisingly not held back!), what will tennis fans think and what impact will this news have on Sinner's chances at the US Open which begins in just over a week's time.

It had been a stellar week for the Italian as he captured his second M1000 title of the season in Cincinnati along with Aryna Sabalenka who steam-rolled her way to the women's title without dropping a set to rise back up to Number 2 in the world on the WTA Tour. Elsewhere, Carlos Alcaraz got ANGRY and smashed up a racket for the first time in his career (probably) and it was a week to forget for umpire Greg Allensworth with big match point controversy for Jack Draper and Felix Auger Aliassime.

It's all hotting up for the US Open so join us to cool off - and see how Chris does in the latest instalment of Joel's game!
