French Open: Jannik Sinner continues impressive form to sail into fourth round

Jannik Sinner dropped just three games on his way to a dominant 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 victory over Jiri Lehecka in the third round of the French Open.

The Italian needed just an hour and 34 minutes to wrap up victory against world No 34 Lehecka, hitting a staggering 31 winners to just nine unforced errors against the Czech.

Sinner's triumph on Saturday saw him extend his Grand Slam-winning streak to 17 matches, having won the 2024 US Open and 2025 Australian Open titles.

Speaking on court after the match, the 23-year-old thanked his team for providing him with the perfect tactical approach.

"This morning I said to my team I'm feeling well and physically ready," said Sinner. "We had to go very hard in the beginning, because I feel like the start of slams are very important, which then gives you the confidence to keep going.

"I warmed up very well. I felt very good. After 25 minutes I was feeling great. Just a relaxed morning, and I tried to go on court with a good focus.

"My team is good, they give me the right tactics â- I tried to play them in the match. It's a combination of also being happy on court."

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old has also become the Italian man with the joint-most Grand Slam match wins in the Open Era.
