Like last year, Giulio Zeppieri enters the main draw of Roland Garros. In that case he managed to beat the Kazakh Bublik in 5 sets, before falling in the second round against Casper Ruud (later finalist). The Italian hopes to do even better, after playing 3 excellent qualifying matches. The best is the last one, in which he easily beats the Finnish Otto Virtanen with a double 6-2 and secures his ticket to the main draw. Zeppieri, who had overcome Travaglia without problems in the first round, only suffered against the Bulgarian Andreev in the second match. Now Giulio, who has achieved his main objective, will be able to play with his head free, trying to amaze.

The fairy tale of Matteo Gigante stops one step away from the dream, as he fails to enter the main draw at Roland Garros (it would have been the first time in his career). The Italian lost 6-3 6-2 against the Brazilian Heide.

The feat was achieved by Mattia Bellucci, who came from behind to beat the Spaniard Moro Canas and qualified for Roland Garros for the first time. The blue manages to win after losing the first set 6-3 and moves on to the tie-break of the third, winning 10-7. Bellucci, who also played the first round in Melbourne last year, returns to a Slam main draw. Other Italians will be on the field on Friday: Vavassori will challenge Squire and Maestrelli will have to overturn the prediction against Kukushkin. Among the women, Sara Errani, number 1 seed in these qualifiers, will play as the favorite against the Romanian Ruse. There is still a great possibility of having many Italians in Paris, despite the last minute withdrawal of Matteo Berrettini, who gave up playing Roland Garros.
