PARIS: Top-ranked Jannik Sinner appears to be struggling with the heat during his second-round match at the French Open against 56th-ranked Argentine opponent Juan Manuel Cerundolo on Thursday. Sinner was serving for the match at 5-4, 0-40 in the third set when he bent over on the court and then walked to his chair. He asked for assistance and left the court.
PARIS, France: World number one Jannik Sinner put on a typically efficient display in his opening match at the French Open on Tuesday, moving past Clement Tabur to book his spot in the second round. The 24-year-old needed just over two hours to beat the French wildcard 6-1, 6-3, 6-4.

The San Candido native raced out of the blocks on center court as he wrapped up the first set for the loss of just one game in 30 minutes. World number 171 Tabur stuck doggedly to his task to the appreciation of the home crowd, but Sinner’s groundstrokes were too powerful and accurate as he pummelled his way into a two-set lead. Sinner had to dig deep in his first service game of the third set, before immediately breaking to close in on victory. A
