He quickly took a commanding lead of 6-3, 6-2, and 5-1, appearing set for an easy victory. However, in a stunning display of resilience, Juan launched a comeback that completely flipped the match on its head.<\/p>\n<p>After a grueling three hours and 36 minutes, Juan emerged victorious with a scoreline of 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-1, 6-1. At the same time on another court, Francisco was up against Hugo Gaston, trying to focus on his own game. During his match, he kept receiving updates from fans and his team about Juan\u2019s incredible comeback.<\/p>\n<p>At first, Francisco was perplexed by the ongoing crowd reactions, thinking they might be misinformed. As more voices announced his brother&#8217;s success, it became increasingly difficult for him to concentrate on his game. \u201cAfter I won my match, I looked at my family, and they said \u2018two out of two.\u2019 I thought he had also won. While I was playing, the crowd kept telling me, \u2018your brother won,\u2019 but I just tried to focus on my own performance,\u201d he reflected post-match.<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;HARD WORK PAYING OFF&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Juan&#8217;s win was particularly poignant as Sinner&#8217;s physical condition faltered dramatically under the sweltering Paris weather. He faced dizziness, cramps, and fatigue that required medical timeouts, which Juan expertly exploited. By keeping calm and extending rallies, he forced errors from the struggling top seed.<\/p>\n<p>Francisco expressed his joy for Juan, emphasizing the hard work and dedication his brother puts into tennis daily. &#8220;I\u2019m really happy for him because he gives his all every single day. It\u2019s wonderful to see his efforts paying off. Beating Sinner, especially after being down two sets, shows incredible resilience,&#8221; Francis shared.<\/p>\n<p>Next, Juan will face Spain\u2019s Martin Landaluce, who triumphed over the Czech Republic\u2019s Vt Kopriva in a remarkable comeback of his own. This victory marks a significant milestone for Juan, as it\u2019s his first-ever third-round appearance in a Grand Slam, making his journey at the French Open 2026 particularly special.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>END &#8211;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Francisco Cerundolo Stunned by Brother\u2019s Stunning Upset at French Open 2026 In a surprising turn of events at the French Open 2026, Francisco Cerundolo found himself grappling with disbelief mid-match as news broke that his younger brother, Juan, had pulled off a remarkable upset, knocking out world No.1 Jannik Sinner in a thrilling five-set match<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33099,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[43360,42885,204,43361,43359,14286],"class_list":["post-33098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-francisco-cerundolo","tag-french-open-2026","tag-jannik-sinner","tag-jannik-sinner-upset","tag-juan-cerundolo","tag-roland-garros"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/indiabulletinusa.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/indiabulletinusa.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/indiabulletinusa.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indiabulletinusa.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indiabulletinusa.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33098"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/indiabulletinusa.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33098\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indiabulletinusa.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/indiabulletinusa.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indiabulletinusa.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/indiabulletinusa.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
