French Open: Champion Alcaraz Begins Title Defence In Style With Clinical Win Over Zeppieri
PIF ATP Rankings: Carlos Alcaraz arrived at Roland Garros 2025 with questions surrounding his fitness, form, and ability to defend his crown. By the end of his first-round match on Monday, he had answered all of them with a performance that was sharp, focused, and full of flair.
The 22-year-old Spaniard, who is chasing history by attempting to become the first man since Rafael Nadal (2019–2020) to successfully defend the French Open men’s singles title, brushed aside Italian qualifier Giulio Zeppieri 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 in just under two hours.
“It was really, really solid,” Alcaraz said. “The first round of a Slam is never easy, and coming here as the defending champion adds some pressure. But I felt good from the start and maintained my level throughout the match.”
