The giant Mpetshi brings down Tiafoe again
In the rest of the program, another Frenchman was on the court. While we could see that his serve was still just as devastating with 36 aces against Nick Kyrgios in the first round, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard only needed 20 to chain cours Frances Tiafoe (6-4, 7-6(4)). An opponent that he had already dominated during the last Rolex Paris Masters. The Frenchman saved two break points at the start of the second set. Otherwise it was imperial to join Jakub Mensikexecutioner of Dusan Lajovic, in quarters. Finally, Reilly Opelka and its protected classification have ruled out Matteo Arnaldi in two sets. The American will cross paths with Djokovic or My son in the next round.
