Cameron Norrie vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard prediction
Cameron Norrie advanced to the next stage of the Auckland Open after a straight-forward win over Hugo Gaston in the first-round. The former British number one did not give up a break point as he won 6-3 6-4 after one hour and 20 minutes.
He now takes on Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. The Frenchman defeated veteran Roberto Bautista Agut in his round one encounter. Mpetshi Perricard looked to be cruising to victory as he took the first set and broke at the start of the second, but he was broken for the first time when serving for the match at 5-4 up. However, he dominated the tiebreak to win 6-3 7-6 (2).
Mpetshi Perricard’s serve has been strong in the opening weeks of the season, but Norrie’s consistency and rally tolerance are likely to give him the advantage when points are extended. It is likely to be a struggle for Norrie, and his return game needs to be strong, but he has enough quality to win.
