World No. 1 Jannik Sinner began his Roland Garros campaign with a commanding 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 win over French wild card Clement Tabur on Tuesday night, stretching his winning streak to 30 matches.
Jannik Sinner’s Path to Glory at Roland Garros
Back at the venue where he let three championship points slip in last year’s final against Carlos Alcaraz, the 24-year-old Italian made a strong start to his push for a first French Open title. A victory in Paris would complete his Career Grand Slam, a feat achieved by only six men in the Open Era. Sinner is already a four-time major champion.
Sinner controlled the baseline throughout their first meeting, striking 40 winners and never facing a break point, according to tournament statistics. He mixed clean hitting with sharp defense, closing out the straight-sets win on Court Philippe-Chatrier against the World No. 171.
His form this season has been dominant. Sinner has captured all five ATP Masters 1000 events played so far—Indian Wells, Miami, Monte-Carlo, Madrid, and Rome. The Rome title nine days ago completed his Career Golden Masters, making him the second, and youngest, man after Novak Djokovic to win all nine Masters 1000 tournaments at least once.
Sinner will face Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the second round. Cerundolo advanced earlier with a 6-2, 7-6(0), 7-6(7) win over Jacob Fearnley. As Sinner continues to showcase his remarkable talent and determination, tennis fans eagerly anticipate whether he can achieve the elusive title at Roland Garros and solidify his legacy in the sport.
