Carlos Alcaraz and Mattia Bellucci are set to face off in the second round of the US Open 2025 men's singles event on Thursday (August 28, 2025) at Arthur Ashe Stadium, New York. Watch the Alcaraz and Bellucci Grand Slam tennis match live.
Alcaraz, currently ranked World No. 2, enters the US Open 2025 second round with significant momentum and a strong pedigree. The Spanish tennis star won the US Open in 2022 and has reached at least the quarterfinals in every Grand Slam tournament this season.
The 22-year-old's recent form in 2025 is particularly impressive, boasting a 55-6 win-loss record this year. This includes a title run at the Cincinnati Masters, further cementing his status as one of the top contenders. In the opening round at New York, Alcaraz defeated Reilly Opelka in straight sets.
Mattia Bellucci, currently ranked No. 65 in the world, is enjoying a breakout season on the ATP Tour in 2025. The Italian player reached the semifinals in Rotterdam and advanced to the third round at Wimbledon, recording wins over top players such as Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
The 24-year-old's best US Open performance came last year when he reached the second round after a memorable win over veteran Stan Wawrinka. This year, he moved past the first round after Juncheng Shang retired mid-match. For Bellucci, an upset against a dominant opponent could be career-defining.
