"Sinner ain't putting himself at risk": Rennae Stubbs believes Paris Masters screwed themselves over with poor scheduling

Rennae Stubbs has weighed in with a damning verdict on the Paris Masters after scheduling issues again were highlighted in the ATP 1000 tournament last week in the French capital.

Many players including Jannik Sinner who withdrew post match were forced to play mere 14 hours after late finishes with long matches and short turnarounds. Even Novak Djokovic who won the title was suffering with illness and not being able to recover in time.

This led to Sinner in particular deciding against playing his second round tie due to fatigue and Stubbs said that it is no surprise given that the ATP Finals also are incoming.

"I mean that was amazing I couldn't believe how many people were still there at 2.30 am 2.45 am coming to watch the match," she said on The Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast.

"But you expect a player to come back that same day and play a match when he has an ATP Finals in a week in Turin in his home country?"

"Jannik Sinner ain't putting himself at risk so you you f**ked yourself by having terrible schedule you lost one of your best players," she added.

But also she said that the overall scheduling in putting multiple matches on one day proved to also be a big issue and clueless in her mind.

"What are you doing scheduling six matches on one court," Rennae Stubbs continued. "I know it's terrible when it's a medium slow court clearly or at best medium and these guys are playing 50 ball rallies they're lasting three hours because they don't have wind and rain to deal with."

"Jannik Sinner finishes a match at 10 pm to 3 am in the morning, doesn't get to bed till probably five-ish and doesn't come back and play that same day are you f***ing out of your mind? What are they doing to optimize the player experience, to optimize the fan experience."
