Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs Alexander Bublik prediction

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard is hoping a Challenger title in Bordeaux can get him back on track on tour.

The Frenchman lost six matches in a row between Indian Wells and Rome and the drop down a tier may well have renewed his flagging confidence. 

The first test of the 21-year-old’s resurgence comes against Alexander Bublik.

The Kazakhstani has lost just two of his last 11 matches and also arrives in Hamburg on the back of a Challenger title in Turin.

The head-to-head stands at 1-1 with Mpetshi Perricard winning their only meeting on clay in the semi-final in Lyon last year. 

The Frenchman’s fortunes are sure to turn soon, but it may not be against Bublik, who also has power and the x-factor guile to wreak havoc on his day.
