Philippe-Chatrier gets ready for another blockbuster as World No. 1 Jannik Sinner faces Argentina’s Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the French Open 2026 second round. Sinner looked unstoppable in his opening match and arrives as one of the favourites for the title, while Cerundolo will need the performance of his life to trouble the Italian after their one-sided Wimbledon meeting back in 2023.

The warm-up is done and we are officially underway on Philippe-Chatrier! Jannik Sinner wastes no time settling in, holding serve to open the match as the World No. 1 gets the scoreboard moving early. Cerundolo now steps up looking to respond straight away.

This is turning into a brutal early statement from Jannik Sinner. The Italian is completely locked in right now, striking clean from both wings and barely giving Juan Manuel Cerundolo a second to breathe in the rallies. Philippe-Chatrier is watching a masterclass unfold as the World No. 1 storms to a commanding 3-0 lead in the opening set.

Sinner keeps the pressure firmly on as he stretches the lead to 5-2 in the opening set. The World No. 1 is dictating terms from the baseline, striking clean winners and forcing Cerundolo Jr into constant defence, with the Argentine struggling to find any real rhythm so far.

Sinner wraps up the opening set in style, holding to 15 to take it 6-3. The World No. 1 has been in complete control from the baseline, barely allowing Cerundolo Jr any breathing space as the Argentine continues to chase shadows. If this rhythm holds, it’s hard to see anything but a straight-sets finish here.

Sinner nudges ahead again, 2-1 in the second set, keeping the pressure firmly on Cerundolo. It’s still the same pattern, heavy hitting from the baseline, no cheap points, and the Argentine is being forced to defend almost every rally just to stay in it.

Sinner strikes again with another break and moves out to 5-2 in the second set, tightening his grip on this match. Cerundolo is running out of answers as the World No. 1 continues to land blows from everywhere on court. Sinner will now step away for a short break, returning with the finish line firmly in sight.

Sinner takes the second set as well and is finishing this in ruthless fashion. He leads 6-3, 6-2, having completely controlled the tempo from start to finish, with Cerundolo struggling to find any sustained resistance.

The World No. 1 now has a straight-sets passage into the next round at Roland-Garros firmly in his hands.

Set three is barely a few minutes old and Sinner has already slammed the door wide open again. The World No. 1 breaks Cerundolo at the very first opportunity, surging to a 3-0 lead and leaving the Argentine with nowhere to hide. It’s all one-way traffic now, and Sinner is just a handful of games away from wrapping this up in style.

Sinner is one game away now, leading 5-4 in the third set as he inches towards the finish line. Cerundolo has shown a bit more fight in this set, but the World No. 1 still has the match firmly under control. One more service game, and Sinner will be through in straight sets.

Cerundolo refuses to go quietly and snatches the third set 7-5, dragging this match a step further than Sinner would’ve liked. The World No. 1 had his chances but couldn’t quite shut the door, and the Argentine capitalises late to extend the contest and keep himself alive in Paris.

We’re level again in the fourth set, 1-1, and the momentum has shifted slightly after Cerundolo’s gritty fightback to steal the third. Sinner is back on serve, trying to reset and reassert control, while the Argentine is feeding off belief and keeping this match alive longer than expected.

Sinner creates two break points at 15-40 on Cerundolo’s serve, but that burst seems to drain him. He can’t convert, fades through the remainder of the game, and Cerundolo capitalises fully, taking the fourth set 6-1. The Argentine has dragged this into a deciding set, with Sinner suddenly looking short of answers after being in full control earlier.

Cerundolo is running away with it in the decider, 5-1 up in the fifth set. The momentum has completely flipped after Sinner’s early control, with the Argentine now dictating rallies and pushing the World No. 1 to the brink of an unexpected collapse in Paris.

Juan Manuel Cerundolo produces a stunning upset at Roland-Garros, beating World No. 1 Jannik Sinner 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-1, 6-1 in a result that shakes Philippe-Chatrier.

Sinner looked firmly in control after two sets, but the match flipped completely as Cerundolo found remarkable composure and intensity to reel off three straight sets and seal the biggest win of his career. The world No. 1’s 30-match winning run comes to an end in one of the most shocking turnarounds in recent Grand Slam memory.
