Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Thiago Seyboth Wild preview
26th seed Felix Auger-Aliassime will take on Brazilian qualifier Thiago Seyboth Wild in the second round of the 2025 Italian Open.
2025 began on a great note for Auger-Aliassime, as the Canadian reached three finals in the first three months of the year, winning titles in Adelaide (defeated Sebastian Korda in the final), and Montpellier (defeated Aleksandar Kovacevic in the final). He also reached the final at the Dubai Tennis Championships, losing 3-6, 3-6 against Stefanos Tsitsipas.
However, since his run in Dubai, Auger-Aliassime has had a form dip as he has won only one of his next six matches. In the clay season, he had opening-round exits in Monte-Carlo, Munich, and Madrid. He played at the Challenger event in Estoril to get his form back, but lost 5-7, 4-6 against Andrea Pellegrino in the second round.
Thiago Seyboth Wild has mostly played on the Challenger tour this year, losing in the initial rounds on most occasions. His one good event on the ATP Tour came at the Argentina Open, where he reached the quarterfinal, losing 6-7 (3), 3-6 against Laslo Djere.
At the Italian Open, Seyboth Wild began his campaign with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Pierluigi Basile and a 7-6 (5), 6-4 win over Jesper de Jong to enter the main draw. He won his first-round match 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 against Nuno Borges.

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Thiago Seyboth Wild prediction
Auger-Aliassime has a 54 percent win rate on clay courts, which is his lowest win ratio across the three surfaces. He is yet to win a clay-court title on the Tour, but has reached finals, the last of which was at the 2024 Madrid Open, where he lost 6-4, 5-7, 5-7 against Andrey Rublev.
Seyboth Wild's only career title has come on clay, as the Brazilian won the 2020 Chile Open with a 7-5, 4-6, 6-3 win over Casper Ruud in the final. He also has five clay court titles on the Challenger Tour, the last of which came in Genoa in 2023, with a 6-2, 7-6 (3) win over Fabio Fognini in the final.
Auger-Aliassime is the favorite to win the upcoming match as he is the higher-ranked player and a former quarterfinalist in Rome, as he reached the last eight back in 2022.
