Andre Agassi Questions Jannik Sinner's Preparation in French Open Loss
Andre Agassi said Jannik Sinner lacked preparation after the top seed lost 18 of the final 20 games in a five-set upset.
- Former American tennis great Andre Agassi criticized top-seeded Jannik Sinner for a stunning second-round French Open loss to Juan Manuel Cerundolo, marking the earliest exit for a top-seeded man since Agassi in 2000.
- Leading 6-3, 6-2, 5-1 against Cerundolo at the French Open, Sinner faltered dramatically, losing 18 of the final 20 games in a five-set upset that shocked observers.
- Concerns about Sinner's conditioning are not new; in August 2025, the Italian player retired just 23 minutes into the Cincinnati Open final against Carlos Alcaraz.
- Speaking on TNT Sports, Agassi distinguished between being fit and being prepared, citing a "flaw in that kind of preparation" and stating "there's no excuse for him to run into a wall at 1 hour, 45" minutes.
- Agassi questioned Sinner's hydration and medical staff approach, noting "repeating the same thing twice and expecting different results?" is problematic, and concluded Sinner must "figure out what to change" to avoid future collapses.
