DAVID GOFFIN VS GIOVANNI MPETSHI PERRICARD PREDICTION
20-year-old Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 66th after winning his maiden title at the Lyon Open last week, overcoming sixth seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry 9-7 in the deciding tiebreak.
The Frenchman will be welcomed like a hero onto Court 14 on Tuesday, a suitably compact and atmospheric court for the youngster to find his feet on, and he can take the confidence of a 1-0 lead against David Goffin into this rematch after upsetting the Belgian in Antwerp late last season.
Former number seven Goffin reached the quarter-finals here back in 2016 but he has suffered a severe depreciation in form practically ever since the covid-19 pandemic.
A 2-7 record for 2024 would not bode well for his chances against most players but facing a young home hopeful, on the adrenalin of a five-match winning streak, and in front of a partisan atmosphere is a truly thankless task. Back Mpetshi Perricard to win outright, although straight sets seem likely.
