GIOVANNI MPETSHI PERRICARD VS TOMAS MARTIN ETCHEVERRY PREDICTION

When factoring in the dynamic nature of these two players, the speed in which both cover the court and the intensity that comes from competing in a grand slam, this has all the makings of a potential first round classic. Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard is notorious for his powerful serve and it may take time for Tomas Martin Etcheverry to adapt.

The likelihood is that Frenchman Perricard forces proceedings early on, using his serve to get on top of Etcheverry, but the Argentine is too strong a player not to remain on the back foot for long and should grow into this one the longer it goes on. With that in mind, consider backing Perricard to win the opening set, regardless of who comes out on top.
