At the onset of the French Open, Jannik Sinner, who had clinched the Australian Open title, effortlessly overcame Christopher Eubanks, setting a vibrant tone for his campaign at Roland Garros.
Despite grappling with a hip injury in the lead-up to the tournament, the Italian displayed agility during a comfortable 6-3 6-3 6-4 victory. Sinner encountered minor trouble while concluding the match, momentarily conceding two break points to his American counterpart due to a double fault, before rallying to secure the win.
Reflecting on his condition, the 22-year-old expressed contentment with the state of his hip, stating, “The general shape is not at 100% yet so we try to build every day.” Notably, Sinner stands to ascend to the top spot in the world rankings if defending champion Novak Djokovic fails to progress to the semi-finals in Paris.
His formidable performance against Eubanks saw him amass 33 winners and thwart nine out of the 10 break points faced. Looking ahead, he is slated to square off against the local favorite, Richard Gasquet. “I’m gratified by my recent accomplishments, and my objective is to make daily improvements,” he affirmed. The morning’s play was significantly disrupted by delays, as high-profile players like Rafael Nadal, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Daniil Medvedev awaited their scheduled matches on Monday.
