Casper Ruud vs Guilio Zeppieri will take place in the second round of the 2023 French Open on May 31.
Casper Ruud dominated his match against Swede qualifier Elias Ymer in the first round of the French Open a few days ago. He was completely in command throughout the game, allowing his opponent to win only nine games in three sets, 6-4 6-3 6-2. The 2022 US Open runner-up has reached the third round or higher in each of the last four French Opens. In addition, he played his first-ever grand slam championship match in Paris last year, where he was defeated by Rafael Nadal.
Despite a super-dominant start to the match by winning six games in a row against the dangerous but inconsistent Alexander Bublik, 6-0 4-6 4-6 6-3 7-5, Giulio Zeppieri had to fight back from a set deficit. It’s worth noting that he came into Paris having lost his previous three matches at all levels. Nonetheless, he has won four straight matches, including three convincing straight-set victories in the qualifiers, to turn things around. The Italian impressed in his only previous match against a top-5 player, and he hopes to replicate that level of competition when he faces current world #4 Casper Ruud at the French Open.
