Aleksandar Kovacevic vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard prediction

Aleksander Kovacevic picked up a fine victory in the round-of-16 as he squeezed past Cameron Norrie to advance into the last eight. The American broke Norrie’s serve for the first time as the Brit was serving to stay in the match, winning 7-6 (4) 4-6 6-4. Kovacevic endured an indifferent season last year, but he has got this campaign off to a promising start.

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard is his opponent in the next round as he came from a set down to defeat Rinky Hijikata. Hijikata broke in the middle of the first set to take the lead, but the big serving Frenchman edged ahead in two tiebreaks to win 4-6 7-6 (4) 7-6 (4) after two hours and 12 minutes. He thundered down 29 aces on his way to victory.

Mpetshi Perricard is difficult to beat when he’s serving so well, but Kovacevic will take confidence from his wins over Nick Kyrgios and Norrie. This could very well go the distance, and tiebreaks are likely to be key again.
