Ailing Sinner knocked out in French Open second round by Cerundolo
Cerundolo recovered from two sets down as Sinner’s 30-match winning streak ended and the French Open men’s draw opened up.
- On Thursday, Argentinian Juan Manuel Cerundolo upset top-seeded Jannik Sinner in a five-set second-round match at Roland-Garros, rallying from a two-set deficit to win 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-1, 6-1.
- The TNT broadcast called the heat "unprecedented" as Sinner struggled with physical cramping, requiring medical treatment midway through the third set on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
- Admitting he felt unwell before the match, Sinner noted, "I woke up this morning, didn't feel very well," and lost 15 consecutive points after leading 5-1 in the third set.
- With Sinner eliminated and Carlos Alcaraz having withdrawn due to injury, the tournament is now wide open; Cerundolo advances to face Martin Landaluce or Vit Kopriva in the third round.
- Sinner's quest for a career Grand Slam must wait until at least 2027 following this loss, ending his 30-match winning streak that followed consecutive clay court Masters victories.
