French Open: Sinner Suffers Second Round Defeat To Cerundolo

Jannik Sinner has been sensationally knocked out of the French Open after suffering from cramping when serving for the match during his second-round clash against Juan Manuel Cerundolo.

The world No 1 and hot favourite at Roland-Garros was struggling during the third set, losing 15 points in a row before calling for a medical timeout and treatment in the middle of a game when 6-3 6-2 5-1 ahead and serving for the match.

The Italian had moved 5-1 ahead in the third but proceeded to lose the next six games before and after treatment to lose the set 7-5.

Sinner was broken twice in the fourth set with his body continuing to fail him, before the final set saw Cerundolo break straight away and, barring some nervy moments, clinch the match, winning the decider 6-1.

Sinner was on a 30-match winning streak stretching back to February and he was an overwhelming favourite heading into the second Grand Slam of the season – especially with two-time reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz out due to an injured right wrist.
