Overview

  • Carlos Alcaraz defeated Fabian Marozsan 6-1, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 in the second round to secure his spot in the third round.
  • Fabian Marozsan’s upset over Alcaraz at the 2023 Rome Masters remains the highlight of his career despite limited Grand Slam success on clay.
  • No. 12 seed Tommy Paul is set to face Marton Fucsovics in round two, carrying strong form from his opening-round victory.
  • Fucsovics leads their head-to-head series 2-1, but Paul’s higher ranking and recent performances suggest a shift in their rivalry.
  • Roland Garros’ best-of-five format and demanding clay surface continue to test players’ endurance and strategic adaptability.
