Physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi commented on the doping scandal involving Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner, with whom he previously worked.
According to Naldi, their relationship remained warm even during the proceedings, and he tried to behave with dignity, avoiding media attention. He noted that these are his first public remarks and that sometimes words were taken out of context, sparking debates on social media.
Giacomo Naldi for Punto de Break
Even though the collaboration has ended, there’s no hard feelings. What happened can’t be changed, but we have to move on. Life goes on. I come from a basketball background, I’ve always tried to bring team spirit to the Sinner team, too, and that’s one of the things that was most appreciated.
In March 2024, Sinner tested positive twice for clostebol – an anabolic steroid – in low concentrations. In February 2025, WADA suspended the tennis player for three months.
