Russian tennis pro, top-10 star and Olympic gold medallist
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has suffered a shock five-set defeat at Roland Garros, stalling his bid to complete a career Grand Slam and forcing a period of recovery ahead of Wimbledon. The loss comes after a long winning run and intense focus on Paris.
Maja Chwalińska has reached the French Open women’s final, becoming the first qualifier ever to reach Roland Garros’ final and the second qualifier to reach a Grand Slam final in the Open Era. She will meet Mirra Andreeva in Paris on Saturday, with a potential €1.4m prize and a top-25 ranking in sight.
