Ukrainian Tennis Player Bilozertsev Loses in the Round of 16 at Roland Garros 2025: Match Recap

The tennis player will continue competing in the tournament's doubles draw.

Ukrainian tennis player Nikita Bilozertsev has wrapped up his run at Junior Roland Garros 2025. The athlete was Ukraine's only representative in the men's singles draw.

For 16-year-old Bilozertsev, Roland Garros 2025 marked his first French major and his second overall. In Paris, Nikita confidently made it through both of the first two rounds — first, in two sets, eliminating Serbia's Ognjen Milic, and later, with an identical score, beating America's Jack Secord.

The Ukrainian's opponent in the round of 16 was Italy's second seed, Jacopo Vasamì. The two had met once before — Vasamì won that match, 2:1.

How Nikita Bilozertsev's Round of 16 Match at Junior Roland Garros 2025 Went

• The Ukrainian took an early break right from the start of the first set, adding another in the fifth game to make it 5:1. And although Vasamì fought back with a break of his own to make it 5:4, Bilozertsev won the set in the tenth game.

• The second set, though, went entirely the Italian's way. Vasamì gave Bilozertsev no chance, winning 6:0.

• The Italian also took an early break in the third set — making it 3:0 in under 20 minutes. Bilozertsev won back one game, but the Italian held his advantage, closing out the match.
