Carlos Alcaraz Advances to French Open Third Round as Tsitsipas and Ruud Exit

Posted : 29 May 2025

Carlos Alcaraz battled through a brief dip in performance to secure a four-set victory over Hungary’s Fabian Marozsan and reach the third round of the French Open. The defending champion started strongly, taking the first set 6-1, but faltered in the second before regaining momentum to win 6-1, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2. The 22-year-old Spaniard, who has now won 17 of his last 18 matches on clay, is aiming to become the first man since Rafael Nadal in 2020 to successfully defend the Roland Garros title.

 

Alcaraz admitted that Marozsan's aggressive play in the second set made things difficult, but he credited his ability to regroup and improve his game in the final two sets. The four-time Grand Slam winner showed glimpses of his recent dominant clay form, which brought him titles in Monte Carlo and Rome, as he closed out the match with composure. He will next face Bosnia’s Damir Dzumhur, who upset 31st seed Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in four sets.

 

While Alcaraz advanced, other high-profile names fell early. Greek 20th seed Stefanos Tsitsipas was shocked by Italy’s Matteo Gigante, ranked 167th in the world, in four sets. Casper Ruud, a two-time finalist in Paris, was hampered by injury and could not overcome Portugal’s Nuno Borges, exiting the tournament after a challenging four-set match.
