‘Not much I can improve’ – Sinner drops only three games in ruthless win

French Open 2025

Location: Roland Garros, May 25 – June

Jannik Sinner defeated Jiri Lehecka to advance to the French Open fourth round, dropping only three games in a flawless performance.

With a 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 victory, the Italian top seed defeated the Czech world number 34 in an hour, 35 minutes, ending the match.

Sinner put together a classy performance that included winning 11 games in a row to start the match, dropping only nine points on the serve and making 31 winners out of nine unforced errors.

Sinner’s winning streak against players outside the top 20 was extended by 64 games after winning.

Every opponent is unique, according to three-time major champion Sinner, who said, “I don’t think there’s anything I can improve after today.”

“I told my team that I was feeling well and physically ready this morning.” Because the beginning is crucial for confidence, we had to work hard in the beginning.

Andrey Rublev, the 17th seed, will face Sinner in a race for a spot in the quarter-finals in the quest for his first French Open title.

Sinner’s merciless destruction of Lehecka underscored his reputation as the man to beat with his recent two Grand Slam victories, both in the US Open and Australian Open hard courts.

The Italian, who moved around the court from the beginning, exerted great athleticism and control of the action.

In a 23-minute first set, Sinner made just one unforced error.

Lehecka finally rose to 3-1 in the second set to receive cheers from the audience on Court Suzanne Lenglen.

Lehecka responded by grinning and raising both arms in the air in celebration despite the scoreline.

Lehecka, who had only won two games as Sinner continued his march toward the finish line, stampeding his authority on the performance with an emphatic serve and volley on match point.

Third seed Alexander Zverev defeated unseeded Italian Flavio Cobolli in straight sets to advance to the fourth round.

Zverev, who won his first Grand Slam title last year, continued his quest with a 6-2, 7-6, 6-1 victory.
