- Italian withdraws citing fatigue after finishing at 2.37am
- Fellow player criticises ‘joke’ scheduling of tournament
Organisers of the Paris Masters are facing heavy criticism over their scheduling after Jannik Sinner withdrew following a late-night finish.
The Italian fourth seed, one of the most in-form players in the world, did not conclude his second-round victory over Mackenzie McDonald until gone 2.37am on Thursday morning and was then scheduled to play Alex de Minaur at 5pm.
