Why Jannik Sinner’s unthinkable French Open defeat is a huge wake-up call

World number one Jannik Sinner, considered the biggest pre-tournament favourite at Roland Garros since Rafael Nadal in 2009, was shockingly eliminated in the second round of the French Open. His early exit is seen as a major wake-up call for the remaining players in the draw, particularly given that Carlos Alcaraz is also absent from the tournament. The unexpected defeat opens up the field and reshuffles expectations for who could claim the title.
