Teenager Sinner stuns 11th seed Goffin on French Open debut

The Hindu  

Italian teenager Jannik Sinner upset 11th seed David Goffin in a breezy 7-5, 6-0, 6-3 victory on his French Open debut on Sunday to confirm his status as one of the most exciting talents in men's tennis. - Nishikori battles past Evans - Japan's Kei Nishikori, who missed the American hard-court swing after contracting COVID-19 last month, edged past Britain's 32nd seed Dan Evans 1-6, 6-1, 7-6, 1-6, 6-4 in a gruelling battle lasting almost four hours. Evans, the 32nd seed, looked on course for his first ever French Open win as he romped through the opening set but Nishikori polished off the second set in equally quick time. RELATED| A topsy-turvy match saw three-times French Open quarterfinalist Nishikori seize control to lead 3-0 but again Evans reeled off the next three games and had a break point in the seventh that he could not convert.
