Round 2 of the 2025 Men’s French Open gets underway on Wednesday with a 15-match card starting in the wee hours of the morning. The final match is slated for 8:15 p.m. local time and will feature No. 10 Holger Rune taking on American Emilio Nava. Also in action on Wednesday are Carlos Alcaraz, Casper Ruud, and Frances Tiafoe.

The defending champs record straight-set victories, but fourth-seeded Taylor Fritz, ninth-seeded Emma Navarro and four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka drop their openers.

It is no coincidence that Carlitos had already played several matches on the second most prestigious court of Roland Garros in past editions, which is why it was not a problem for him to get used to the conditions and his performance against Zeppieri on his debut was excellent.

Carlos Alcaraz produced his usual mix of poise, pace and power to see off Italian qualifier Giulio Zeppieri 6-3 6-4 6-2 and reach the second round of the French Open on Monday. The defending champion wasted little time seeing off the world number 310 on the Suzanne Lenglen court at the Roland Garros stadium,

The 22-year-old Spaniard, looking for a second Roland Garros crown and a fifth grand slam title, won 6-3 6-4 6-2 in just under two hours.

Carlos Alcaraz says he "expected a worse level" from himself after starting his French Open title defence with victory over Giulio Zeppieri.

Everton also confirmed fellow loan signings Jesper Lindstrom, Orel Mangala and Armando Broja would return to their respective parent clubs.

In his press conference after beating Laslo Djere, Alex de Minaur was asked what makes Carlos so dangerous on this surface: "I'm not a red clay specialist and I definitely need to improve my top-spin shots, which don't come so naturally to me and are really important on these courts.
