With his eyes set on the French Open, he got off to a comfortable start with an easy win against American Christopher Eubanks. He is set to take on Richard Gasquet who has got a wild card entry. The Frenchman defeated Borna Coric but faces an uphill task against Sinner.

Jannik Sinner vs Richard Gasquet preview
Having won three titles in his first four attempts in 2024, many predicted amazing things for Jannik Sinner, but his season went through a lean spell after the win at the Miami Open 2024. The Italian has since then suffered from injuries. With the season moving forward, Sinner has his eyes set on his first major title on clay.
His second round opponent is not new to the big stage as a veteran of over 1000 matches. Richard Gasquet will be itching to make an impact. He still seems to have a lot of gas left in him, as he showed after fighting a grueling three-setter in the first round. It could very well be his last home slam and the 37-year-old wouldn’t want to go out without a fight.
