  "textContent": "\n\n\nJannik Sinner is out of the French Open in a huge upset as the world number one lost a two-set lead to Juan Manuel Cerundolo.\n\nThe Italian was looking like he would cruise through to the next round, winning the first couple of sets 6-3, 6-2, before the world number 54 fought back after Sinner started to suffer with cramp.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nCerundolo won set three 7-5, before winning 6-1, 6-1 to knock out the favourite for the competition.\n\nThe Argentinian secured the biggest result of his career as Sinner managed to win just two more games after he lost his commanding position.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe world number one dropped 18 consecutive points from his position of dominance to find himself facing three break points at 5-4 while serving for the match a second time.\n\nThe Italian sat on the advertising hoardings beside the court for a lengthy period, prompting umpire Aurelie Tourte to leave her chair and speak with him directly.\n\nMedical staff examined Sinner after he reported feeling unwell, checking his blood pressure before permitting him to return, though he subsequently lost the third set.\n\nSinner's exit transforms the men's draw at Roland Garros, leaving 39-year-old Novak Djokovic as the sole remaining player with grand slam pedigree.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### LATEST SPORTS NEWS\n\n\n\n\n  * Steve Clarke signs new Scotland contract days before World Cup starts\n  * Marcus Rashford career in limbo after Barcelona move onto next transfer target\n  * New York mayor Zohran Mamdani wears Arsenal-themed kurta for Eid al-Adha ceremony\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nSpeaking on court after his five-set victory, Cerundolo said: \"It's tough for him, he was leading the match and I couldn't win more than three games in a set.\n\n\"I was a little bit lucky and I feel sorry for him, he was serving to win the match.\n\n\"Then I don't know what happened, I think he was cramping. Of course I feel sorry for him and I hope he recovers.\"\n\nThe Argentine will play in the third round of a grand slam for the first time in his career following the victory.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nCerundolo continued: \"I'm super happy, I will try to keep playing my best.\n\n\"I like to play this tournament because clay is my best surface and I hope to be ready for the next match.\"\n\nThe defeat also means the Italian will have to wait another year for his shot at completing the Grand Slam title.\n\nHis rival Carlos Alcaraz completed the feat at the Australian Open.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nSinner had already claimed the Australian and US Open and won the Wimbledon title last year.\n\nOnly six men have completed the grand slam, with those being: Rod Laver, Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Djokovic and Alcaraz.\n\nCerundolo will face either Martin Landaluce or Vit Kopriva in the next round of the competition.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
