Jannik Sinner had to put on his work overalls to clinch his first victory in the Mutua Madrid Open two years after the last one. Everyone expected an effortless debut for the Italian, facing Benjamin Bonzi, the 104th ATP-ranked player, but the Frenchman dominated the first set with a flawless serve, taking it in a tight tie break (6-7(6)). Alarms went off, but Sinner quickly extinguished them with a convincing 6-1 set, then carried on with momentum to close the match 6-7(6), 6-1, 6-4. After overcoming the initial scare, Sinner advances to the third round, awaiting Elmer Moller.

We had one thing clear: Jannik Sinner's first opponent in the Mutua Madrid Open 2026 would be French. Benjamin Bonzi and Titean Droguet were competing for that privilege, and in the end, the former secured a spot to face the Italian at the Manolo Santana. Bonzi achieved a hard-fought victory (6-7, 7-6, 6-4) to now enjoy the spotlight on Friday at the tournament. They have met three times in the past, and Sinner won all three, although it's interesting that in all three matches, they went to a third set. Will history repeat itself?

Jannik Sinner had to dig deep against Benzamin Bonzi to start with a victory at the 2026 Mutua Madrid Open. The world number one triumphed after coming back from a set down (6-7(6), 6-1, 6-4) and in his on-court interview with TennisTV, he confessed the difficulties he faced during the match: "It was quite tough for me here. I knew it before the match. It's a very particular court and conditions. I think every day is different. Each day can make a big difference. I know that. I hope to improve a bit for the next round," stated the player from San Candido.
"I tried to keep a calm mind. That's why I won today. In terms of tennis, we're trying to get better. Tomorrow we have some time. A rest day. We will try to make the most of it in a very positive and good way. We'll see how far I can go," said the top favorite to claim the title at the Magic Box.

Jannik Sinner faces tomorrow his debut match at the Mutua Madrid Open 2026. He will face a very in-form Benjamin Bonzi, who has successfully navigated the qualifiers and defeated his compatriot Droguet in an extended first-round match. This indicates that he is well adapted to the unique conditions of the Spanish capital. On the other hand, Madrid is the only Masters 1000 event where Jannik has not yet reached the final, providing great motivation to tackle this edition where he is a top favorite.

Carlos Alcaraz already knows who he will have to battle to secure a spot in the quarterfinals of the US Open. It will be Arthur Rinderknech, who defeated his compatriot Benjamin Bonzi 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 in the third round, after two hours and 41 minutes. The Frenchman seems to enjoy eliminating Spanish tennis players in this major American tournament. First, it was Roberto Carballés and then Alejandro Davidovich. We will have to see if the Murcian becomes his third Spanish victim.

Nicolas Mahut witnessed firsthand the spectacle that Daniil Medvedev put on in the early hours at the US Open against Benjamin Bonzi. He saw it up close because he has been the Frenchman's coach since the beginning of the North American hardcourt swing. Therefore, following his pupil's hard-fought and surreal victory, he criticized the Russian's behavior: "I prefer not to comment on Daniil Medvedev's behavior in the heat of the moment because I don't want to say things I might regret, but I cannot imagine Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner acting that way for a second," stated the former player in an interview with L'Equipe.

Of all the things I could imagine myself writing about right now, one of the last would undoubtedly be about a photographer who unintentionally interrupts a tennis match with a match point in favor of one of the players. But that's live sports for you, you never know when the unexpected might happen. The issue is that this man made a mistake by entering the Medvedev-Bonzi match at the wrong time, causing a stir on the court that took more than six minutes to settle. What has been the USTA's reaction? Firstly, escorting the man out of the stadium with a group of security guards. Secondly, as reported by Bounces, revoking his accreditation for the remainder of the tournament. They say everyone makes mistakes, that we all deserve a second chance. Sometimes it doesn't happen.

The Frenchman came out alive from a crazy match against Medvedev where even the crowd turned against him: "I think I did nothing wrong, I didn't deserve that treatment".
