Jannik Sinner reinforced his status as the French Open favorite with a commanding first-round victory over French wildcard Clement Tabur. The world number one extended his remarkable winning streak to 30 matches, showcasing his dominance on clay courts with minimal unforced errors while Tabur failed to earn a single break point.

Sinner recently completed the "career Golden Masters" by winning all nine ATP Masters 1000 titles following his Rome triumph. His path to the Coupe des Mousquetaires cleared further when sixth seed Daniil Medvedev and ninth seed Alexander Bublik both crashed out in the first round of his half, leaving fourth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime as the highest remaining threat.

The Canadian Auger-Aliassime barely survived against Daniel Altmaier, needing a fifth-set tie-break, and has lost his last five matches against Sinner. The top seed will next face Argentina's Juan Manuel Cerundolo, who upset Great Britain's Jacob Fearnley. Sinner's 30-match winning streak and clay-court dominance this season establish him as the clear front-runner in Paris for the second major title of the year.
