Carlos Alcaraz v Mattia Bellucci live stream | US Open 2025 preview & betting tips

Carlos Alcaraz aims to avoid successive US Open second-round exits when he plays Mattia Bellucci at Flushing Meadows on Wednesday.

Flushing Meadows holds fond memories for the Spaniard, who made his major breakthrough here three years ago.

However, it was also the stuff of nightmares during last year’s event, as he was beaten in straight sets at this stage by Botic van de Zandschlup.

Nevertheless, Alcaraz – sporting a freshly shaved haircut – will be confident of avoiding a repeat of that result, having opened his campaign with a commanding victory over Reilly Opelka.

World number 65 Bellucci also has plenty in the tank, after first-round opponent Shang Juncheng retired injured during the fourth set of their showdown.

A semi-finalist in Rotterdam earlier this season, the Italian also recently claimed a Challenger Tour title in Sumter.

He now looks to match his run at Wimbledon last month, and reach round three at a major for only the second time.

A third-round showdown with either Luciano Darderi or Eliot Spizzirri awaits whoever prevails from this clash.

Play gets under way at 12am BST on Wednesday with the match contested over the best of five sets at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Carlos Alcaraz v Mattia Bellucci prediction

The fact Alcaraz was beaten at this stage 12 months ago will boost Bellucci’s confidence in his quest to claim a scalp.

However, it is a big ask in only his seventh major – and second US Open – especially having lost four of his last six tour-level matches.

Not only that, but Alcaraz is riding the crest of a wave at the moment.

His last 41 matches have yielded just two defeats – one of which coming against Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon final – while he has claimed silverware at Monte Carlo, Rome, Roland-Garros, Queen’s Club and Cincinnati along the way.

A finalist in each of his last seven tournaments, it is hard to see him slipping up here.
