Jurij Rodionov vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard prediction

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard will be desperate to end a losing run at the US Open.

The towering Frenchman has lost his last five matches and his poor run has seen him drop from just outside the top 50 in May and out of the top 100.

Austria’s Jurij Rodionov will hope to take advantage of the 23-year-old’s travails as the world number 143 plots the rankings upset.

However, Rodionov has made little impression on hardcourts of late and has just three main draw wins overall.

It may need to be a case of who keeps their nerve best here and Gio will surely turn the corner soon, particularly with that big serve a major plus point in these conditions.

Jurij Rodionov vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard tip: Over 3.5 sets
