Jannik Sinner has arrived in Paris, ready to participate in the French Open, which is scheduled to commence on May 26 and conclude on June 9. The world No. 2 tennis player is set to compete in the tournament after successfully passing a scan, putting to rest any doubts about his participation due to a hip injury.
Sinner, who has been in stellar form this season with victories at the Australian Open, Rotterdam, and Miami, is undoubtedly a strong contender for the title. His presence in Paris not only adds to the excitement of the tournament but also sets the stage for a potential showdown with the current world No. 1, Novak Djokovic, as they both vie for the top spot in the rankings.
Ranked world no.2 (career-high), the Italian played his last match on the 30th of April when he overcame world no.18 Karen Khachanov 5-7 6-3 6-3 in the 4th round in Madrid (draw).
At present, during this year the Italian owns a composed 28-2 match record. Jannik conquered 3 titles in 2024 at the Australian Open, Rotterdam and Miami.
PARIS. Kei Nishikori and Jannik Sinner practiced together at the French Open. The practice session took place on the Philippe-Chatrier court, where Sinner was seen putting his hip through its paces after arriving at Roland Garros.
This session marked Sinner’s return to the court after a period of recovery from a hip injury. Nishikori, who had not played since the Miami Open, also participated in the practice session, making a comeback to the sport after a hiatus since July. The session was notable for both players as they prepared for the tournament, with Sinner looking in good shape and Nishikori appearing a bit erratic but eager to get back into competitive play.
