All the attention has been on Iga Swiatek after news about her doping case came to light. Swiatek missed the Asian Swing, the Korea Open, China Open and Wuhan Open, as a result of her ban. Although the Polish star accepted the 1-month ban, many critics called for a harsher sentence for Swiatek. However, Fritz came to Swiatek’s rescue, asking them to give her a break.
Taking to social media, he wrote, “What drives me CRAZY about these situations (in terms of going on X) is not the actual cases themselves. It’s tough to know exactly what happened/all the details in all of these specific instances, so the speculation talk isn’t really my favorite thing to do. If it’s a rival of the player you support that tests positive then you are on team ‘let’s call them a doper/cheater/disgrace them as much as possible,’ and if it’s your fav player that it’s about then it’s ‘innocent no questions asked.”
