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.

Head-to-head

Both enjoy taking part in important matches and find motivation in competing against elite athletes. Sinner has gradually begun to emerge as the star that everyone expects him to be.
