Vesely, who arrived in Marrakech with a solitary ATP match win in 2016 (Rotterdam 1R d. Rosol), matched his 2015 run to the semis by beating 2014 champion Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in the quarter-finals. Coric played his first match in Marrakech in the quarters, beating 2007 champion Paul-Henri Mathieu after a first-round bye and a second-round walkover from Simone Bolelli (left knee injury).

It will be the 8th all-Italian meeting at Roland Garros in the Open Era and the 16th all-Italian clash at the Grand Slams in the Open Era. The pair are tied at 4 wins apiece in their previous Tour-level match-ups, but Seppi has not beaten his compatriot and Davis Cup teammate since 2010 and will have to put in an inspired performance if he is to defeat to the No.
