Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs Felix Auger-Aliassime prediction
Two-time finalist Felix Auger-Aliassime will aim to put a disappointing clay swing behind him by snapping a poor run on grass.
The Canadian has not won on the surface since 2022 and has lost six matches in a row in that period.
It’s a surprising statistic given he has a strong record overall on the turf and the power game to suit it.
First up, the world number 29 meets Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard who won an epic first-set tie break before defeating Roman Safiullin 7-6 3-6 7-5 in the first round.
The Frenchman also has a game style to suit grass and reached the round of 16 at Wimbledon 12 months ago.
This will be a third meeting with the match-up tied at 1-1.
FAA eased to a 6-4 6-2 win in Hamburg recently but this should be a closer affair that could easily go the distance if both players find their mojo on serve.
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs Felix Auger-Aliassime tip: Over 2.5 sets
