Italian Jannik Sinner, the top seed, beat Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech 6-4, 6-3, 7-5 to move into the second round of Roland-Garros on Monday evening, during the night session.

The Italian stretched his Grand Slam winning streak to 15 matches after his wins at the 2024 US Open and the 2025 Australian Open.

“I can be very proud about winning this first match, it’s never easy against a Frenchman here.”

Sinner was close to perfect over the initial two sets. His level dipped a bit in the third, with nine unforced errors off his racket contributing to deficits of 4-0, ball of 5-0 for the Frenchman and 5-2.

“He raised his level, he served very very well, I made a couple of mistakes, which can happen”, Sinner said to the reporters. “Losing a set can go very very fast. It can also change very quickly, which I showed today.

Sinner, ranked No 1, will play wildcard Richard Gasquet next. “I know you will support him,” Sinner told the fans on court with a smile, “but that’s OK.” This match might be the last of Richard Gasquet’s career.
