Kei Nishikori, who was set to face Carlos Alcaraz at the French Open, has withdrawn, and Alcaraz will now meet Giulio Zeppieri. This first-round match also marks the second meeting between the two players, and the winner will face Luca Nardi or Fabian Marozsan. Below is our prediction.
Qualifier Zeppieri ranks 304 places lower than Alcaraz, and he will definitely be on a giant-killing mission here. He has already negotiated his way past three qualifying matches to reach the Roland Garros main draw for the first time ever.
This game marks only Zeppieri’s second in the main draw of a tour event this season. He lost at Indian Wells in the first round.
Zeppieri meets one of the in-form players in world tennis, who is straight from winning his second Masters title in 2025. Alcaraz should see this one off with relative ease after his initial opponent pulled out.
The Spaniard showed his class in his last match, beating Jannik Sinner at the Rome Masters final. That title came after winning the Monte Carlo Masters title. His first of the season was in Rotterdam, while he lost one final – Barcelona.
In the first Grand Slam event this year, Alcaraz reached the Australian Open quarters. Alcaraz hasn’t lost a first-round match this season.

Our Giulio Zeppieri vs Carlos Alcaraz Prediction
Carlos Alcaraz goes into this game as a clear favorite. This looks like a mismatch as the two players face off for the second time in their careers. Alcaraz, well-rested after his triumph at the Rome Masters, is expected to ease past Zeppieri.
The qualifier has nothing to lose here and will seek to upset his higher-ranking opponent. Chances that this will happen are really low, but he might force a few errors here and there. With that in mind, our prediction for Giulio Zeppieri v Carlos Alcaraz is for the first set to have over 8.5 games.
