US Open 2019: Roger Federer 'sick and tired' of scheduling questions

Roger Federer says he is "sick and tired" of being asked if he demands favourable scheduling after admitting he had a "competitive advantage" over Britain's Dan Evans.

The Swiss great, 38, won 6-2 6-2 6-1 against Evans, who said he felt fatigue during his second match in 24 hours.

Evans did not leave Flushing Meadows until about 6pm local time on Thursday, then faced Federer at noon on Friday.

"I don't remember that I asked for something," Federer said.

"I know there was a question about having a preference. But that doesn't mean 'Roger asks, Roger gets'.
