Denis Shapovalov was one of the first players to react to the doping case of Jannik Sinner, expressing his strong dissatisfaction with the way the ITIA handled the situation. The Canadian criticized the lack of transparency and favoritism towards the world number 1, which he also emphasized in the recent case of Iga Swiatek, who was suspended for a month after testing positive for a banned substance. Shapovalov took to his social media platforms to compare the treatment of the Polish player with, for example, Simona Halep, one of the players who had to fight the most to prove her innocence. "that doesn’t make it fair that players Halep and others had a crazy long bans for similar things. I’m glad it’s changing because the doping rules are unfair. But guys like Ymer are still suspended and he’s never even tested positive.
