Last year, Draper made it to the last four of the US Open, but was beaten by world No1 Jannik Sinner, who he could face in the quarter-finals in Paris. <\/p>\n
Bellucci, the unseeded Italian, has not progressed past the first round of the French Open in either of his two attempts so far.<\/p>\n
Draper beat him in their one previous meeting, in the round of 32 in Tokyo last year, when the Briton came through 6-4 6-2. <\/p>\n
Draper\u2019s path into the latter rounds looks cluttered with talented names, with home favourite Gael Monfils potentially waiting for him in round two, before wonderkid Joao Fonseca or big-hitting Polish 30th seed Hubert Hurkacz could be his third-round opponent. <\/p>\n
In the last 16, ninth seed Alex de Minaur, who Draper has a 1-4 head-to-head record against, is his projected counterpart. <\/p>\n
Draper vs Bellucci start time<\/p>\n
Draper\u2019s first outing at Roland Garros will take place on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. <\/p>\n
The match is the fourth and final one on Court Suzanne-Lenglen, meaning the players are likely to take to the court at around 4pm BST.<\/p>\n
