Jannik Sinner faces Corentin Moutet in the French Open fourth round in a first-ever career head-to-head.

Jannik Sinner remains on track for a potential second Grand Slam title to add to the Australian Open trophy he picked up in January. The second seed moved past Pavel Kotov 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in a straight-set win in French Open 2024.

He produced an all-round display to quell Kotov’s challenge and prevail in the two-hour, 27-minute encounter. Sinner broke his opponent’s serve once in each set to clinch the match against the World No. 56 and extend his head-to-head lead to 2-0, including his win against the Russian in last month’s Madrid Open.

Sinner having climbed to 31-2 this season, takes on Frenchman Corentin Moutet in the fourth round in Paris. Moutet has played four-set matches in all the rounds at Roland Garros, spending close to three hours each time he walked out on the court. The French player’s third round against Sebastian Ofner took two hours and 47 minutes and saw Moutet pull off a comeback to win 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-1 against the 45th-ranked Austrian.
