Top-ranked player Jannik Sinner is eliminated from the French Open in the second round after losing to 56th-ranked Juan Manuel Cerundolo. Multiple reports describe Sinner struggling during the match on clay, including difficulties related to the conditions, with one outlet citing heat and noting that Sinner appeared physically affected as the match progressed. The match goes beyond the initial sets, with Sinner failing to convert key moments, including a missed opportunity to serve for the match. Although Sinner had been in strong form entering Roland Garros and was considered a major contender, the loss ends his run at the tournament earlier than expected. One report also highlights that Sinner had a 30-match winning streak leading into the French Open and that his status as title favorite was heightened by Carlos Alcaraz’s absence due to an injured wrist. Overall, the available accounts agree on the outcome—Sinner’s second-round exit to Cerundolo—while emphasizing his challenges in managing the match as it wore on.
