Paris-Bercy: organizers retort to Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner has decided to withdraw from the Paris-Bercy tournaments after finishing his match against McDonald after 2:30 a.m. The Italian tennis player, tested by the challenge and stymied by the day’s scheduling, decided to preserve himself and avoid nasty surprises ahead of the Atp Finals.

The organizers of the Paris Masters 1000 have però issued a statement in which they responded to the Azure and his coach Cahill, who had complained about the prohibitive schedule to which the match had been moved.

"We respect Sinner’s choice, fatigue is part of a professional tennis player’s life. Then in his case è also an accumulated fatigue, and with big goals ahead like the Nitto ATP Finals,‖ Director Pioline told L'Equipe. In hindsight, è it is always easy to talk about scheduling, but we need to put things back in the right dimension. Wednesday was an exceptional day in tennis terms, after the extraordinary match between Medvedev and Dimitrov. Let’s also not forget that at 8:16 p.m. Zverev was serving for the match against Humbert, but then è changed the match".

"It's the magic of the sport,” Pioline argued. The audience of the day session was crazy, sure there was some discontent among those who had bought tickets for the evening session that was supposed to start at 7:30 pm. But it has to be realized that with the existing infrastructure, court 1 is not è up to the standard of a Masters 1000 tournament. bWe did well, in light of what happened, to start a reflection on the future of the tournament, which should enlarge to meet the new needs of the circuit".
