French Open 2026: World no. 1 Sinner knocked out by Cerundolo in 2nd round
New Delhi ( The Indian View team) : World number 1 Jannik Sinner is eliminated from the Roland Garros 2026 by the hands of Argentina’s Juan manuel Cerundolo in a 5-set contest that saw the Italian have the match snatched away from him due to an unfortunate injury that kept him from playing his best tennis in the latter half of the contest.
Losing 6-3, 6-2, 5-7, 1-6, 1-6 on the day, Jannik was one game away from a straight sets win but eventually pulled something in his leg that halted the game with him receiving treatment. The heat also got to the Italian as he was looking a little weak at times as well. Despite continuing to play throughout the game, Jannik didn’t look like himself and eventually dropped the last three sets to bow out of the tournament.
Juan Manuel Cerundolo has already made a name for himself on the ATP Tour with an impressive rise over the last few years. The Argentine announced himself in remarkable fashion in 2021 when, at just 19 years old and ranked World No. 355, he won the Cordoba Open on home soil during his ATP Tour debut. Cerundolo secured eight victories in nine days, including three qualifying matches, to complete a stunning breakthrough run.
