Sinner Suffers Shock French Open Exit After Mid-Match Collapse
World No. 1 and top seed Jannik Sinner has been eliminated from the French Open in a stunning second-round upset after suffering from cramps mid-match.
The Italian was defeated by Argentina’s Juan Manuel Cerúndolo in a dramatic five-set encounter.
Sinner appeared to be cruising to victory, comfortably winning the first two sets 6-3 and 6-2. He continued his strong performance into the third set, establishing a commanding 5-1 lead.
However, the match took a dramatic turn when Sinner began suffering from cramps and required medical support. Following the interruption, his form collapsed, and he went on to lose six consecutive games. Cerúndolo capitalized on his opponent’s physical struggles, dominating the final two sets with identical 6-1 scores to seal a remarkable comeback victory.
