Eight-time grand slam champion Andre Agassi said there is “no excuse” for Jannik Sinner, the overwhelming favourite at this year’s French Open, to have struggled so much in the heat in his shock second-round exit.
The Italian had enjoyed an imperious run on clay, winning titles in Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome in the build-up to Roland-Garros and had been near-universally expected to seal the title in Paris.
