Hamad Medjedovic vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard prediction
Hamad Medjedovic picked up a brilliant win over Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Qatar Open in February, winning in three sets, but has struggled to maintain that level of performance since. In the two events that have followed, he lost in the first-round of the Miami Open to Rinky Hijikata and then failed to make it out of qualifying for Monte-Carlo with a loss to Camilo Ugo in the second stage.
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard began his clay court season with a tame straight sets loss to Jordan Thompson in the first-round of Monte-Carlo, which followed his defeat in Miami to the same opponent. The big server hasn’t maintained the levels he showed during the autumn of last season and hasn’t enjoyed a deep run at a tournament in 2025.
Neither player is in great form but we think Mpetshi Perricard, who is ranked 38 places higher than his opponent, should get off to a winning start with victory here.
