Tennis Predictions
In a delicate period, the Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard will approach his first round in Beijing without pressure against a contender for the final victory, Carlos Alcaras.
Revelation of the season in the French camp, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard has had a setback in recent weeks. In brilliant form at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the Frenchman has since suffered a physical setback and negative results have followed one after the other. Since his 1/8th final at Wimbledon, the French tennis player has only won 2 matches in 7 encounters. Early exits in Montreal, Cincinnati and the US Open, a second round last week in Chengdu which did not reassure, it is difficult to say that the young Frenchman is confident. Problem, the draw did not help him for this ATP 500 tournament in Beijing with a difficult duel to come against Carlos Alcaraz from the start.
The number 2 seed in China needs to get going again after a complicated end to the summer. Since his defeat in the Olympic final, the Spaniard has been looking for a second wind, without success. Defeated in the first round in Cincinnati and then in the second round at the US Open, the world number 3 player sought confidence in the Davis Cup with two victories and then in the Laver Cup with also 2 successes. Enough to get back on track? This Beijing tournament will provide the answers but in the meantime, Carlos Alcaraz has points to go for at the end of the season with the tour in Asia and this will begin against the Frenchman on the night of Wednesday to Thursday.
