The Roland-Garros qualifications ended this Friday, and we now have the complete draw for the 2025 men's edition.

Carlos Alcaraz, the defending champion and No. 2 seed, had to wait to find out the name of his first opponent. It is the Italian Giulio Zeppieri, ranked 306th in the world.

On the French side, Clément Tabur will meet his compatriot Corentin Moutet. A similar scenario for Ugo Blanchet, who will face Hugo Gaston. Kyrian Jacquet will take on Nuno Borges, ranked 41st in the world.

There are also four lucky losers in the main draw: Marin Cilic will play Flavio Cobolli, Alexander Shevchenko will face Dusan Lajovic, Elmer Moller will start against Tommy Paul, and Thiago Agustin Tirante will challenge Damir Dzumhur.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
