SPORTS THURSDAY | MAY 28, 2026 28 J ANNIK SINNER powered into the second round of the French Open yesterday as his fellow world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka also made a winning start at Roland Garros. Sinner needed just over two hours to beat French wildcard Clement Tabur 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 to extend his win ning streak to 30 matches. After taking all three clay-court Masters 1000 events in the run-up to Roland Garros, the 24-year-old Italian appears to have cracked the code to victory on the red dirt. Without double-reigning cham pion and world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in the draw, top seed Sinner is con sidered the runaway favourite to lift the Coupe des Mousquetaires for the first time come the men’s final on June 7 and complete his career Grand Slam. “Pressure is always going to be there,” Sinner told reporters. “It’s nor mal. So I try to take it in a very natural

a clinical 6-4, 6-0 performance. The fourth seed joked the heat was “nothing” as she grew up in Florida, but added: “Honestly I felt more bad for the fans. You’re watch ing in the heat and I hoped no one passed out. So I’m glad I finished quickly.” Fifth seed Jessica Pegula struggles continued when she fell to a 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 defeat to Australian Kimberly Birrell in the first round, becoming the biggest casualty in the women’s draw. Pegula, who has never made it past the quarterfinals at Roland Garros, has now exited the claycourt major in the first round for the third time. After a blazing start, she lost her composure as unforced errors crept into her game, which allowed world No. 83 Birrell to take control and reach at least the second round of a Grand Slam for the third time. – AFP/Reuters extended his struggles on the big gest stage following three open ing exits at the majors last year, but he said he was still good enough to compete, even if the game has changed in recent years. Players like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have led the way to show greater baseline intensity and physicality, making it harder for others like Medvedev to find their rhythm, especially on slower clay courts. “I think I’m still usually think I’ve lost the ability to perform in Grand Slams. So I do think it can come back any moment, meaning at Wimbledon, for example. “But again, if we talk in general about all the four Grand Slams, I think if we compared all four Grand Slams to five years ago, the game is different in these Grand Slams, and I don’t think it suits me well. It’s very tough for me to get the rhythm going. First round is the toughest one, and once I get through it, maybe I can do better.” – Reuters good in Grand S l a m s , “ Me d v e d e v insisted. “Yes I can lose (in the) first round, but I don’t

tournament, as I get more comfortable, my level becomes better.” Following a wet and cold Italian Open earlier in May and similar conditions during the practice week at Roland Garros, the big-hitting 28 year-old said the conditions played somewhat in her scorching

peratures continued to soar through the first week of the tournament. The only real blip for Sabalenka as she returned to win ning ways on clay after a surprise early exit from the Italian Open was her failure to serve out the match on Court Philippe Chatrier. But the four-time major winner broke in the next game to book her spot in the second round against France’s Elsa Jacquemot. “I’d say that for me always not easy, the first rounds,” Sabalenka said. “And then, as I get further in the

way. I know what kind of player I am. “Then, you know, if you don’t feel the pressure, it means you don’t care. I do care a lot about what I’m trying to achieve on a tennis court.” He showed why he is the man to beat in the French capital with a pun ishing display against the world No. 171, hititng 40 winners to just 21 unforced errors. Sinner will meet Argentinian Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the second round. Belarusian Sabalenka hurried through a 6-4, 6-2 win against Spanish world No. 50 Jessica Bouzas Maneiro first on centre court as tem

favour. “I’d say that it was a bit warm,” she joked. “Especially compared to the first days when I first got here, it was like 14°C, like, freezing. “Now it’s boiling hot and balls are flying, everything is much faster. But physically I feel strong, so I feel like it can benefit me.” Women’s defending champion Coco Gauff made short work of fel low American Taylor Townsend with

Osaka embracing role as entertainer NAOMI OSAKA had packed plain back-up outfits in case offi cials objected to her sparkling yellow-brown and gold dress during her French Open clash with Laura Siegemund on Tuesday, but she said she was happy to be able to continue setting the style standard.

the Australian Open this year, said she was embracing being the style icon on the women’s tour in recent years. “Sometimes people say athletes are in show business or are entertainers, or whatever. I feel like for me, Grand Slam walk-ons are the only time that I possibly feel I’m an enter tainer.” Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka drew as much attention for her diamond jewellery as her performance in reaching the second round of the French Open. Sabalenka is always a strong presence on court but she is unmissable this year with her Material Good jewellery set featuring diamond necklaces and a pair of earrings worth nearly US$150,000 (RM600,000). “I don’t really feel the heaviness of it, but I can imagine how it looks from the outside,” she said. “It’s supposed to be the third necklace, but, I was, like, ‘OK, it’s kind of too much probably’, so I decided to keep it just two. “I feel pretty comfortable. For me, it’s important to look good. If I feel good looking-wise, I perform better and I feel great.” – Reuters/The Independent

The Japanese player raised the fashion stakes in Paris on the third day of the Grand Slam when she walked onto Court Suzanne Lenglen in a black Kevin Germanier skirt, before unveiling her layered yellow-brown and gold Nike match dress. “When I first saw the match dress in real life, I felt I look like the Eiffel Tower at night, when it’s bright,“ Osaka told report ers, shortly after her 6-3, 7-6(3) win. “I actually got a little worried, because when the sun hits the dress, it reflects a lot. So I was a little scared that the umpire was going to kick me off the court. “So I got two backup normal dresses… thank God I didn’t have to wear them, though. I thought that the reflection of the dress was really beautiful, but it just reminded me of the Eiffel Tower a little bit.” Osaka, who turned heads with a jellyfish-inspired outfit at
