The defending champion Carlos Alcaraz continues his quest for a second consecutive title in Paris as he takes on Fabian Marozsan in his second-round clash today on court Philippe-Chatrier. Alcaraz is coming off an easy win in the first round against Giulio Zeppieri, and the same can be said of Marozsan, who dispatched Luca Nardi in straight sets as well.

The winner of this match will book a place in the third round, where they will take on France’s very own Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard or Damir Dzumhur from Bosnia.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Fabian Marozsan Preview

The defending champion, Alcaraz, is currently enjoying a purple patch of form on the clay courts. After winning the Monte-Carlo Masters, he lost in the final of Barcelona to Holger Rune, but bounced back wonderfully in Rome to edge out local favorite Jannik Sinner for the Italian Open title.

On clay this year, Alcaraz has excellent numbers, which include 81% service games won, 67% break points saved, and 48% break points converted. He has also won nearly 40% of return games.

Marozsan has put up a clinical performance on serve during the clay season with 35 aces, 71% first serve points won, and 82% service games won. He has also converted 41% of his break points, but it is the return games won where he has struggled with just 22%.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Fabian Marozsan French Open 2025 Prediction

The Hungarian has the game to play well on this surface, but Roland Garros is a completely different ball game. Despite having won their previous meeting on clay, Marozsan just doesn’t have the quality to go up against the world number 2 in a best of 5 sets match. Expect Alcaraz to dominate this one from the start and put it away quickly.

Prediction: Alcaraz in straight sets
