World No.1 Jannik Sinner exits French Open second round
World number one Jannik Sinner suffered a stunning second-round exit at the French Open, squandering a commanding lead before falling to Argentina's Juan Manuel Cerundolo. The Italian, who was the overwhelming favorite for the title, won the first two sets 6-3, 6-2 and led 5-1 in the third before his physical condition dramatically deteriorated.
Sinner required a medical timeout, later stating he felt very dizzy, nauseous, and had no energy. He lost 15 consecutive points as the match turned, with Cerundolo rallying to win 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-1, 6-1. The upset ended Sinner's 30-match winning streak and his bid to complete a career Grand Slam, a pursuit made more anticipated by the absence of two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz due to injury.
In commentary for TNT Sports, tennis legend Andre Agassi offered a pointed analysis of the collapse, focusing on preparation for the hot conditions in Paris. "There's a difference between being fit and being prepared," Agassi said. He highlighted the contrast between Sinner's ability to compete for over five hours in last year's final and his physical struggles after less than two hours in this match.
