"Zero care for the players welfare with the Paris schedule": Darren Cahill's damning verdict before Jannik Sinner withdrawal at Paris Masters
ATP
Darren Cahill, Jannik Sinner's coach, expressed his joy over Sinner's victory at the Paris Masters and criticized the tournament's schedule.
Wednesday's action in Paris extended beyond expectations. World No. 4 Jannik Sinner secured his win against American Mackenzie McDonald (42nd) at 2:37 am on Thursday after a hard-fought match that saw him come from a set down.

Sinner's victory was met with delight by his coach, Darren Cahill, who couldn't help but criticize the late hour at which Sinner's match concluded:
“2:45 a.m. Happy for the Jannik win, but zero care for the players welfare with the Paris schedule,” Darren Cahill wrote on his Instagram stories.
The controversy continues as he was supposed to play his round of 16 match against Australian Alex De Miñaur (13th) on the central court earlier on Thursday. However, the Italian surprised everyone by announcing his withdrawal from the tournament due to fatigue.
He cited the limited recovery time and the potential risk to his physical condition as reasons for his decision, especially considering he still needs to prepare for the ATP Finals. In the Finals, he is the 4th seed and will carry the hopes of the local crowd in Turin.
“I am sorry to announce that I am withdrawing from today's match in Bercy. I finished the match when it was almost 3 in the morning and didn't go to bed until a few hours later. I had less than 12 hours to rest and prepare for the next game,” Sinner wrote on his Twitter account.
“I have to make the right decision for my health and my body. The weeks ahead with the ATP Finals at home and the Davis Cup will be very important, now I focus on preparing for these important events. See you in Turin! Force!,” world No. 4 added.
