Sinner Slices Lehecka as French Stars Spill Tour Tea

Jannik Sinner crushed Jiri Lehecka during their French Open match on Saturday. The top seed won 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 against his opponent after just 94 minutes of play. Sinner grabbed the first 11 games before Lehecka finally scored a point. The Italian player said he wanted to save energy during early tournament rounds. His quick victory moved him closer to another Grand Slam title.

Jack Draper reached the French Open fourth round for the first time after beating Joao Fonseca. The British player defeated the 18-year-old Brazilian 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 during their third round match. Draper used his powerful forehand to control the entire contest from start to finish. The 23-year-old said his experience at major tournaments helped him handle the pressure. Fonseca showed promise despite losing his first five-set tournament match.

Arthur Fils pulled out of the tournament because of a back injury. The French player suffered a stress fracture that forced him to stop playing. Fils said doctors told him four to six weeks of rest would heal the problem. The 20-year-old had won his first two matches at Roland Garros after struggling during previous years. His withdrawal disappointed French tennis supporters who hoped for a deep tournament run.
