Tennis Predictions
A revelation in the French camp last season, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard will play his place in the quarter-final of the Brisbane tournament against the American Frances Tiafoe.
At 21 years old, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard will play his first full season on the ATP circuit after having exploded in the eyes of the general public in 2024. The Frenchman showed the whole world the power of his serve which allowed him to reach the second week at Wimbledon as well as winning two titles on the circuit in Lyon and Basel. At the gates of the world's top 30, the tricolor wants to be ambitious for this year 2025 where the surprise effect will no longer be relevant. But his service, on the other hand, will still be present, which was observed by the returning Nick Kyrgios in the first round, defeated in 3 sets after not being able to return the Frenchman's service (36 aces). A great first victory for Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard who will see adversity increase next night with Frances Tiafoe.
18th player in the world, the American has experienced ups and downs in 2024. In difficulty during most of the season, the Atlanta native found a second wind in August and September in his country, with a final at the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati and a semi-final at the US Open. The end of the season had once again been complicated for Frances Tiafoe and the holidays had arrived at the right time. Tuesday in the first round, it was the Australian Adam Walton who suffered the law of the member of the world's top 20 in 2 sets, a mastered entry. But next night's meeting promises to be very different against a much more solid player.
