Mirra Andreeva overcomes Putintseva 6-3, 6-1
Jannik Sinner continued his pursuit of a first French Open title as he eased into the fourth round at Roland Garros with a supreme 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 victory over Jiri Lehecka of the Czech Republic.
This is Sinner’s second tournament since he returned from a three-month doping ban this month. After reaching the Italian Open final in Rome, losing to the reigning French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz, Sinner has continued to build on his form in Paris.
Sinner, the top seed, was in imperious form from the first ball as he rolled to a 6-0, 5-0 lead against Lehecka, a talented 23-year-old and a vicious shotmaker, before losing his first game of the match. Despite bulldozing a quality opponent, Sinner refused to entertain any complacency.
