Carlos Alcaraz (2) def. Giulio Zeppieri 6-3, 6-4, 6-2

Carlos Alcaraz was all enterprise in his first-round demolition of qualifier Giulio Zeppieri as he made a profitable begin to his title defence.

Recent off ATP Masters 1000 titles in Monte-Carlo and Rome, Alcaraz reclaimed the World No. 2 spot within the ATP Rankings final week and he faces Fabian Marozsan in spherical two, who upset him a few years again in Rome.

It was actually, actually stable. The primary spherical of the match isn’t simple, coming right here because the defending champion could possibly be even more durable. However I simply began fairly properly, and saved my good tempo throughout the entire match. I attempted to be targeted on my sport, to get an excellent rhythm. I’m simply actually happy with my begin right here at Roland Garros, the place I used to be actually excited to play my first match this yr. Alcaraz on his win.

The American, who misplaced his first Roland Garros opening-round match since 2018, has been combating an damage in the course of the clay swing and is means off the tempo on the purple filth.

When you get him into the forecourt, he’s comparatively clueless about what to do, and whenever you hear sure gamers on tour say as we speak’s High 10 is way stronger now than it was 10 years in the past, you simply must snort 🤣

Canada’s Diallo shocked 18th seed Cerundolo in a two-hour, 10-minute upset on Court docket 13, marking his first Roland Garros main-draw win.

I had Cerundolo making the quarter finals 🙈 however the No. 54-ranked Canadian broke late within the first set, rallied from an early deficit within the second, and sealed the third with a key break, firing 27 winners and 4 aces.

Cerundolo has been a clay-court standout with a 19-9 file in 2025, however he didn’t get a learn on Diallo’s serve and had a kind of dangerous days on the workplace.

The second set noticed Sinner preserve management, breaking Rinderknech’s serve twice to safe a 6-3 lead, regardless of the Frenchman’s aggressive serve-and-volley techniques and a few highly effective serving.
