Third seed Alexander Zverev reached the 2025 French Open second round after beating Jesper De Jong. The German claimed a 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 victory in the men's singles second round. De Jong showed his class in the opening set but succumbed to Zverev's brilliance eventually. Notably, Zverev was the 2024 French Open runner-up as he lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the final. De Jong drew first blood by breaking in only the second game. His forehand shots were on display. He took a crucial 5-2 lead and held his serve to win 6-3. However, a fired-up Zverev made a remarkable comeback. As mentioned, Zverev lost the 2024 French Open final to Alcaraz. Earlier that season, he became only the third man to beat Rafael Nadal at the French Open. It was the Spaniard's first-ever loss in the opening round of Roland Garros. Zverev has now raced to 36 match-wins at the French Open. His record at this major reads 36-9. Zverev doled out 8 aces compared to his opponent's 4. De Jong committed three double faults with Zverev committing only one. Zverev had a 67% win on the 1st serve and a 73% win on the 2nd. He converted 7/13 break points. Zverev now owns a 2-0 win-loss record over De Jong in their H2H record on the ATP Tour. Before this, Zverev downed De Jong at the 2024 Hamburg Open.
