French Open: Australian Open Champ Sinner Makes Winning Start On Return From Injury
Australian Open: Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner of Italy advanced to the second round of men's singles at the French Open here on Monday, easing past Christopher Eubanks of the United States in his first competitive match after a three-week injury layoff due to a right hip injury.
Sinner struck the ball cleanly and moved well throughout his two-hour, nine-minute match to win 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 against Eubanks and set up a second-round clash with home favourite Richard Gasquet in Paris.
The second-seed Italian's problematic hip held fine as he entered Roland Garros as a Grand Slam champion following his Melbourne Park heroics in January and maintained his chances of winning a second successive Grand Slam title and also increased the pressure on top seed and World No.1 Novak Djokovic.
