Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
In the upcoming match between Mattia Bellucci from Italy and Mees Rottgering from the Netherlands, it will be their first meeting on the professional tennis circuit. Mattia Bellucci, aged 23, currently holds the world No. 92 ranking, which is his career-high ranking as of 2025. In the 2025 season, he has a record of 1-1, with his victory coming in the second round of the Montpellier tournament. This will be his debut appearance in the Rotterdam tournament.
Bellucci’s rise in the rankings has been remarkable. He started the 2022 season at No. 681 and gradually climbed through the ranks, breaking into the top 500 in April and the top 200 in October of that year. By the end of 2022, he was ranked No. 154. In November 2024, he achieved another milestone by breaking into the top 100 and reached his career-high ranking of No. 92 in February 2025.
One of the standout moments in Bellucci’s career was when he secured his biggest victory to date. He defeated No. 32 ranked player Mannarino to reach his first ATP Tour quarterfinal in the 2024 Atlanta tournament, where he competed as a qualifier. Bellucci also made his tour-level debut at the 2023 Australian Open as a qualifier and went on to qualify for Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open in 2024. In the US Open, he achieved his first Grand Slam win by defeating former champion Wawrinka in the first round.
Additionally, Bellucci has had success on the Challenger circuit, with a record of 61-60, including three finals. He won titles at the 2022 Saint-Tropez tournament as a qualifying player ranked No. 275, as well as back-to-back titles at the 2022 Vilnius tournament and the 2023 Cassis tournament.
In the Rotterdam tournament, Bellucci had to go through a qualification process. He defeated 16-year-old Dutch player Boogaard in the first round and the eighth seed Brouwer in the second round to qualify for his third ATP 500 event in as many attempts. He previously qualified for the 2024 Washington and Tokyo tournaments. In the last week, Bellucci earned his first ATP Tour win of 2025 by defeating Pouille in the first round of the Montpellier tournament, but he lost to eventual finalist Kovacevic in the second round.

On the other side of the net, Mees Rottgering is a 17-year-old player from the Netherlands. He currently holds the No. 839 ranking in the world and achieved his career-high ranking of No. 800 in August 2024. Rottgering is currently making his ATP Tour debut in Rotterdam as a wild card entry. Prior to this, he reached the top of the junior rankings on January 6, 2025.
Rottgering has had a solid record in the ITF World Tennis Tour, with a record of 25-20, including reaching his first final in the 2024 M15 Sharm ElSheikh tournament in February. He also had success in doubles, winning the 2024 M15 Metzingen doubles title alongside his countryman Van Sambeek without dropping a set.
In the junior circuit, Rottgering boasts a record of 90-41. His notable achievements include reaching the boys’ singles final at Wimbledon in 2024, becoming the first Dutchman to do so since de Bakker in 2006. He also won the 2024 ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Finals title. Rottgering was even invited to join the Dutch team as a hitting partner at the 2024 Davis Cup Finals, where they reached their first final in Davis Cup history.
It is worth noting that Rottgering aims to be the youngest player to win a main draw match in Rotterdam since Roger Federer achieved this feat at the age of 17 in 1999. He would also become only the second man born in 2007 or later to win an ATP Tour match, following Engel’s victory over Wong at the 2024 Almaty tournament. If Rottgering secures a win in Rotterdam at the age of 17 years and 6 months, he would become the fourth youngest match winner in the history of the tournament.
In summary, the upcoming match between Mattia Bellucci and Mees Rottgering will be their first encounter. Bellucci, currently ranked No. 92, has had a steady climb in the rankings, earning his biggest career win and making his mark on the Challenger and Grand Slam circuits. On the other hand, Rottgering, ranked No. 839, is a rising star in the junior circuit who is making his ATP Tour debut. Both players have their own aspirations and achievements that they will be aiming to build on in this tournament.
