Bangkok: Paris: Yannick Sinner, the world's number one tennis player, has addressed his unexpected second-round departure at the 2026 French Open. The Italian star, a favorite at Roland Garros, faced a stunning defeat that resonated with fans worldwide.
According to Thai News Agency, Sinner was defeated by Juan Manuel Cerundolo, who is ranked 56th globally. The match concluded with Cerundolo triumphing over Sinner in a 3-2 set victory (3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-1, 6-1), thereby halting Sinner's impressive 30-match winning streak.
Despite the oppressive Parisian heat, which soared to 33 degrees Celsius and caused Sinner to experience cramps, he refused to attribute his defeat to the weather conditions. Acknowledging his physical struggles, Sinner conceded that the Argentine player outperformed him, emphasizing that the loss was due to his own shortcomings rather than external factors.
