    Aus Open: Jannik Sinner Moves Into Second Round After French Opponent Gaston Retires Hurt

    Rod Laver Arena: Jannik Sinner regained his winning streak at Melbourne Park on Tuesday after Hugo Gaston retired unexpectedly once the Italian, a two-time defending Australian Open champion, took a commanding lead of two sets to love at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.

    The match ended abruptly after just over an hour when the injured French World No. 93 retired despite receiving medical treatment. Jannik Sinner dominated early, leading 6-2, 6-1, and the French player left the court visibly devastated. Despite the short contest, Sinner reinforced his status as the leading title contender in Melbourne.

    The second seed has won 15 straight matches at Melbourne Park and is chasing a historic third consecutive Australian Open title. A third win would make him only the second man in the Open era, after Novak Djokovic, to achieve this feat. Sinner will next face either Dino Prizmic or James Duckworth.
