ROLAND GARROS. Paris
Carlos Alcaraz defeated Giulio Zeppieri to deliver an outstanding debut at Roland Garros. The Spaniard gave no chances to a solid opponent, playing a highly focused match from start to finish (6-3, 6-4, 6-2). The former world No. 1 displayed top-level tennis the moment he stepped on court. One of the keys to his victory was his serve, which remained unbreakable throughout the match. Zeppieri had just three break points, none of which he could convert.
Another noteworthy stat: Alcaraz is riding a seven-match winning streak (he hasn’t lost since the ATP 500 final in Barcelona against Holger Rune), and he remains unbeaten in his last eight matches at Roland Garros.
