Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs Grigor Dimitrov prediction
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard was unable to regain his title in Basel as he lost in the first-round to Joao Fonseca, with the Brazilian going on to succeed him as champion of the event. That would have been a disappointment for the Frenchman after a decent run up to that point, as he made the semis in Brussels a week earlier and got through to the round-of-16 in Shanghai at the start of the month, which included a win against the world number four Taylor Fritz.
Grigor Dimitrov makes his return from injury in Paris. The Bulgarian suffered arguably the most heartbreaking moment of his long career as he sustained a pectoral muscle strain in his fourth-round match against Jannik Sinner, despite already being two sets to love up and playing beautiful tennis.
The courts this year in Paris are perhaps not quick enough to truly utilise Mpetshi Perricard’s fearsome serve but there are too many question marks over Dimitrov’s fitness for him to be seen as the favourite to come through this.
