Matteo Berrettini Faces Giulio Zeppieri at 2025 Stockholm Open

STOCKHOLM, Sweden – Former Wimbledon runner-up Matteo Berrettini will face countryman Giulio Zeppieri in the Round of 32 at the 2025 ATP Stockholm Open on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old Berrettini, currently ranked No. 61 in the world, is aiming to regain momentum after last winning at the Japan Open in September. His 2025 season record stands at 14 wins and 14 losses, lacking titles so far. He had notable appearances in quarterfinals in Doha, Dubai, and Miami.

Berrettini hopes to capitalize on his experience against Zeppieri, who has gained attention by overcoming qualifiers to reach the main draw. The 23-year-old Zeppieri, ranked No. 160, impressed with his play against Sachko and Zahraj during the qualifying rounds.

While Berrettini’s hard court stats include winning 89% of his service games, he aims to leverage his power against Zeppieri’s less seasoned game. Zeppieri, mainly competing on the ATP Challenger Tour, seeks to improve his 27% career success rate with hopes of a breakthrough in Stockholm.

This matchup marks the first meeting between the two Italians. Berrettini holds the weight of expectations as a heavy favorite with odds at 13/25. Zeppieri is the underdog with odds of 6/4.

As the two prepare for a clash on the court, Berrettini needs to find consistency to gain valuable ranking points, especially after an early exit in last year’s Stockholm Open.

Overall, both players carry different pressures into this match but remain committed to showcasing their talent and resilience on the global stage.
