Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard dominates Frances Tiafoe and advances to the quarter-finals in Brisbane

Facing the American Frances Tiafoe (26 years old, 18th ATP), whom he had already dominated at the end of last season at Bercy, he first concluded the first act by breaking at the ideal moment, at 5-4, thanks to two magnificent forehand volleys. In the second set, after two break points saved at the start, Emmanuel Planque's protégé was very close to finishing when he offered himself a match point on the opponent's service at 6-5, but his forehand attack was deflected into the corridor by the strip of the net.
