Paris, 23 May 2022 – Jannik Sinner’s 2022 Roland Garros debut is fast approaching. The blue player will play the first round on the Parisian clay court tomorrow, Tuesday 24 May, against the American Bjorn Fratangelo (number 185 in the world) coming from the qualifiers. On paper there would seem to be no history, but beware, because in the only precedent between the two it was the American who prevailed. It was the summer of 2019 when the South Tyrolean was defeated by the 28-year-old from Pittsburgh in the second round of the Aptos Challenger. In short, it was forbidden for Sinner to enter the field with presumption, but with the desire to become the protagonist of a satisfactory path. And maybe to replicate the result obtained in 2020, when he only stopped in the quarter-finals.
Where to see the challenge
The match between Sinner and Fratangelo will be broadcast live on Eurosport (Sky channels 210 and 211), but will also be visible in streaming on Eurosport Player, Discovery +, Sky Go and Dazn.
