Filip Misolic vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard prediction

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard will be keen to put his US Open disappointment behind him in Chengdu.

The Frenchman bowed out in the first round at Flushing Meadows despite a strong run to the semi-finals at Winston-Salem in the build-up.

The towering sixth seed will enjoy the conditions here and will be aiming to avenge defeat in his only previous clash with Filip Misolic, when the Austrian clinched a 4-6 6-3 6-2 success on the clay of Mauthausen two years ago.

The world number 92 has made limited impact on a hardcourt of late with his last notable result seeing him reach the quarter-finals on the dirt in Bastad. 

If Mpetshi Perricard can finds the booming first serve consistently this should put him in good stead, although it may not be as routine as the current rankings may suggest in this one.
