Taylor Fritz vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard prediction

Taylor Fritz hit survival mode to see off Fabian Marozsan and reach the third round in Shanghai. 

The American looked to be in trouble but came up clutch on the key points in sets two and three as he edged the Hungarian 2-6 7-6 7-6. 

The fifth seed will now face Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard for a second time after the Frenchman defeated Luca Nardi 6-3 7-6. 

If the first encounter between the pair is anything to go by it could be a battle as Fritz came from two sets down to win a five-set epic at Wimbledon. 

That contest involved three tie-breaks and given the conditions it may be worth exploring the odds on a breaker ot two being involved. 

If Fritz has enough in the tank after his Tokyo and Laver Cup exploits, he’ll come through here, but a punt on it going the distance makes sense given their history, playing styles and current mileage on the court.
