The step was too high for the Frenchman and the Spaniard regained his physical form. In the first round of the ATP 500 tournament in Beijing, the French Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, 21, lost to Carlos Alcaraz (seeded n°2) in two sets (6-4, 6-4) and 1 hour 21 game. After a difficult period, notably after his defeat in the final of the Paris Olympic Games and several surprise defeats, the Spaniard appeared in good form last week at the Laver Cup, offering only victories to Europe.
7 aces for 6 double faults
A form that he confirmed this Friday, September 27, by dominating his opponent, without much difficulty. Despite his powerful serve, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (51e) was broken at the start of both rounds, leaving a clear advantage to his opponent. A sector of play broken down, since it only has 44% of successful first balls, 7 aces and 6 double faults… A bad ratio.
