Carlos Alcaraz already knows his new opponent in his debut at Roland Garros 2025. The withdrawal of Kei Nishikori, just moments after the conclusion of the qualifying phase, has completely changed the layout of the draw. The Spaniard will now face the Italian Giulio Zeppieri, a left-handed tennis player who is 23 years old and has advanced through the qualifying phase brilliantly. In fact, Giulio has not dropped a single set, defeating Spizzirri, Choinski, and Fede Gómez in straight sets. Despite currently being ranked outside the top 300, he poses a much greater threat than his ranking suggests: he fell in the rankings due to a serious injury that kept him sidelined for several months. A powerful player who handles left-handed shots skillfully, but also with a somewhat volatile and scatterbrained personality, he will be an interesting test for Carlos.
