Auger-Aliassime's 2025 season has been a mixed bag, with a win/loss record of 8-2. The Canadian has won a title in 2025, the Adelaide International, overcoming Sebastian Korda's challenge 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in the final.
Being the second seed, Auger-Aliassime received an opening-round bye at Montpellier. In the second round, he opened his campaign with a 6-4, 7-6 (5) against Arthur Cazaux.

De Jong has been in fine form at the Open Sud de France, not dropping a single set so far. He won via retirement against Quentin Halys in the first round.
