Sinner chases career Grand Slam at French Open as Djokovic faces tough route

sports tennis

World number one Jannik Sinner will begin his French Open campaign this weekend. The top seed is set to face French wildcard Clement Tabur, who is ranked a career-high 165th, in the first round. While Sinner may not have the crowd on his side, he has been handed a favorable-looking path through the top half of the men's singles bracket.

Sinner enters the tournament as the red-hot favorite for the men's title. This position is bolstered by the absence of injured rival Carlos Alcaraz and the fact that Novak Djokovic is undercooked on clay.

The Italian is now beginning his quest for a career Grand Slam in Paris. If successful, Sinner would become the ninth man to complete the set of all four Slam titles.
