PARIS (AP) — Coco Gauff thought she was about to head out on the court to play her second-round match at the French Open.“I was probably about 70% done with my warmup,” last year’s runner-up at Roland Garros would say later. Made sense: In the contest preceding hers in Court Suzanne Lenglen on Thursday, No. 8 seed Jannik Sinner was serving for the victory while up 5-4 in the fourth set against Daniel Altmaier. Then Sinner was one point away. Except he couldn’t convert that match point — he had a chance for a putaway overhead, and instead basically sent the ball right at Altmaier, whose forehand in response hit the top of the net tape and fluttered past Sinner — or another that arrived soon after. They would play on for another 1 hour, 43 minutes, until Altmaier finally cashed in his own fifth match point with a 111 mph ace down the middle to seal the 6-7 (0), 7-6 (7), 1-6, 7-6 (4), 7-5 victory.“A great turnaround,” said Altmaier, who cried and cried after the nearly 5 1/...
