Day 5 of the 2025 French Open continues with some enthralling matches to look forward to. On court Philippe-Chatrier, the second match of the day will feature the men’s number one seed Jannik Sinner taking on local favorite Richard Gasquet for a place in the third round.

Sinner is back with a bang from his anti-doping 3-month ban. His first tournament after the ban was the Italian Open just prior to Roland Garros, and he made it to the final only to lose to Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner would be looking to continue his form and make a deep run in Paris once again.

The veteran Gasquet is nearing the end of his tennis career, and a win over Sinner would be one of the highlights of his career, even after being on tour for over two decades.

Jannik Sinner vs Richard Gasquet Preview

It has been a difficult year so far for the Italian number 1. Despite winning the Australian Open at the start of the year, he was immediately hit with the anti-doping ban, sidelining him till only recently. However, Sinner hasn’t lost his step and continues to improve each passing match. With 12 wins and just 1 loss heading into Paris, it will be a tough ask to get by him.

Although there is not much to go on with the limited number of matches the Italian has played this year, his stats are still quite good. Sinner has hit 72 aces, has held serve a whopping 91% of the time, and has converted 45% of his break points.

World #1 Jannik Sinner comes back from 0-4 and 2-5 down in the 3rd set to beat Arthur Rinderknech 6-4, 6-3, 7-5 and reach the 2nd round at #RolandGarros.

The Frenchman has been far from his best, with age and the physical stress of several years on tour taking their toll on his body. Gasquet’s best days are truly behind him. He has struggled with his service this year, hitting only 22 aces and conceding 25 double faults, although he does have a healthy break point conversion rate of 40%.
