Zeppieri Has Little Experience on Hard Courts
Giulio Zeppieri shot to fame this year when playing as a qualifier he defeated three top 100 players to reach the semifinals of the Umag Open. But the 20-year-old Italian was stopped from making the final by tournament runner-up Carlos Alcaraz.
Among the players that Zeppieri defeated en route the final four in Umag were Pedro Cachín, Daniel Galan and Bernabe Zapata Miralles.
Zeppieri is 3-3 on the tour this year and 27-27 from all levels. He has very little experience playing on hard courts and a 2-4 season record on the surface testifies that.
The left-hander, who is ranked no. 164th in the world, most recently featured in the Parma Challenger last week, where he lost in the first round. He has reached six Challenger quarterfinals this year but is yet to go beyond the last eight at that level.
Apart from reaching the last four in Umag, Zeppieri’s other notable accomplishments this year include his Grand Slam debut at the French Open and his ATP 1000 debut in Rome. Having received the wild card in Florence , he will look to impress at home.
