When does Jannik Sinner play at Roland Garros: background with Jiri Lehecka

After overcoming in the second round of Roland Garros Richard Gasquet in his last career match, Jannik Sinner is preparing to return to the court for the match against Czech tennis player Jiří Lehečka, world number 34, who defeated Spain’s Davidovich Fokina in 4 sets in the last round of the Paris Slam.

The match between the South Tyrolean and Czech tennis player will be the second match on the ‘Suzanne-Lenglen’ after the opening match between Mirra Andreeva and Putinseva on Saturday, May 31. The match between the world number 1 and 34 will start around lunchtime.

There are three previous matches between Sinner and Lehečka. The first is not at the Atp level, but at the Challenger level, and dates back to 2019 in the Ostrava Challenger where the Italian tennis player prevailed 6-4, 6-2. The other two previous ones, these at Atp level, were both won by the Italian tennis player. The last one dates back to the quarterfinals of the 2024 Chinese tournament in Beijing where Sinner got the better of Lehečka 6-2, 7-6. The first meeting at the Atp level, on the other hand, also dates back to 2024 in Indian Wells where the South Tyrolean got the better of Sinner with a double 6-3.

After an excellent performance at the tournament in Rome, Sinner reached the final losing only to Alcaraz, he arrives at the match with the favor of the prognosticators: the Italian’s minimum goal is to reach the semifinal reached last year always lost to the Spanish tennis player.
