Dusan Lajovic will be the first opponent of Carlos Alcaraz in the ATP Masters 1000 in Rome 2025. The Serbian player, ranked 131st in the world, defeated Yoshihito Nishioka with a score of 7-5 and 6-1 in 1 hour and 21 minutes of play to set up a match with the Spanish player in the second round. Dusan, who advanced from the qualifying rounds where he defeated Cameron Norrie, could be a significant first test for Alcaraz in his comeback from injury.
