Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs Holger Rune prediction
Holger Rune continued his utter dominance over Ugo Humbert to reach the round of 16.
The Dane moved to 5-0 in his head-to-head with the Frenchman courtesy of a solid 6-4 6-4 success.
The 10th seed will now face Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard after the 32nd seed upset Taylor Fritz in straight sets.
It is 1-1 in their head-to-head but Rune did triumph 7-6 6-3 in Canada recently.
Mpetshi Perricard triumphed 7-6 6-4 in a Basel semi-final last year, so it seems like tie-breaks could factor and that the winner of the first set is key.
The Frenchman will be buoyed by his win over Fritz, but backing it up is another matter and the Scandinavian is playing some intelligent, rock-solid tennis at present, which makes it hard to back another upset in this one.
