Fatigued by the rough ride on Tuesday (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tired

'fatigued' is the definition.
('tire' can be a synonym of 'fatigue')

'the rough ride on tuesday' is the wordplay.
'the rough' indicates an anagram (a rough or broken ordering of the letters).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tuesday' becomes 't' ().
'ride' anagrammed gives 'ired'.
'ired' after 't' is 'TIRED'.

'by' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tired that I've seen before include "Sleepy" , "getting bored" , "Whacked" , "Beat" , "Worn out" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
