Jannik Sinner is OUT of Roland Garros! In one of the biggest French Open upsets in recent Grand Slam history, world No.1 Jannik Sinner suffered a stunning five-set collapse against Juan Manuel Cerundolo, ending his 30-match winning streak in dramatic fashion. Join Joel and Chris on Tennis Weekly as they break down Sinner’s shock defeat, the controversial medical timeout that sparked debate across the tennis world, and what this result means for the Roland Garros men’s draw. Does this open the door for Novak Djokovic to win a record 25th Grand Slam title? And which players benefit most from Sinner’s early exit in Paris?
The team also discuss Aryna Sabalenka surviving another difficult test despite an inconsistent display, Coco Gauff claiming her 80th Grand Slam match win before turning 23, and teenage star Moise Kouame continuing his sensational breakthrough run. Away from the French Open, Serena Williams is reportedly preparing for a sensational comeback at Queen’s Club alongside Victoria Mboko ahead of Wimbledon. Plus, a preview of Day 6 featuring Novak Djokovic vs Joao Fonseca on Philippe-Chatrier.
