Jannik Sinner discusses his Eiffel Tower Lego project after 1st-round win at French Open
Sinner extended his winning streak to 30 matches while chasing the only major title missing from his career.
- On Tuesday, top-ranked Jannik Sinner routed 171st-ranked French wild card Clement Tabur 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 in a first-round night session, extending his winning streak to 30 matches at Roland Garros.
- Sinner has won the Australian Open twice, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open once but lacks a French Open title to complete his career Grand Slam after losing three match points to Carlos Alcaraz in last year's final.
- At 24 years old, Sinner has won five consecutive tournaments and is an overwhelming favorite with Alcaraz sidelined by a right wrist injury; he seeks to become the first Italian man to win Paris since Adriano Panatta 50 years ago.
- Addressing the crowd on Court Philippe-Chatrier, Sinner said "I'm very happy to be back here" and revealed he and his brother built a miniature Eiffel Tower Lego project at home in northern Italy to prepare mentally for the tournament.
- With two Australian Open crowns and one each at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, Sinner has begun his pursuit of the elusive French Open title needed to complete his career Grand Slam alongside Panatta's historic achievement.
