French Open Results 2026: Jannik Sinner extends winning streak while Aryna Sabalenka powers through Roland Garros

Jannik Sinner once again showed why he is the best player in men’s tennis right now. The Italian star opened his French Open 2026 campaign with a calm and powerful straight-set win over Clement Tabur on Tuesday at French Open 2026. The victory also became Sinner’s 30th straight win, adding another huge milestone to his incredible season. But while Sinner looked untouchable, several big names had a rough day at Roland-Garros. Daniil Medvedev suffered another shocking first-round exit after losing a wild five-set battle to Adam Walton. Alexander Bublik also went home early after losing to Jan-Lennard Struff. On the women’s side, Jessica Pegula became one of the biggest surprises of the day after Kimberly Birrell fought back to beat her in three sets.

At the same time, top stars like Aryna Sabalenka , Coco Gauff , Naomi Osaka, and Felix Auger-Aliassime safely moved into the next round. Auger-Aliassime survived one of the toughest matches of the tournament so far, winning a dramatic fifth-set tie-break against Daniel Altmaier.
