My Prediction
Mpetshi Perricard in 3 setsWell, isn't this quite a situation we've found ourselves in, sports fans? Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard versus Felix Auger-Aliassime. A real nail-biter, this one. I mean, if your idea of "nail-biting" is a cat swatting at a ball of yarn.
But let's examine this matchup just for fun, shall we? The past tends to predict the future, and the past shows us quite clearly that Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard got the better of Auger-Aliassime the only time these two have met. Had young Felix love that day, and sounds like a rather bad hit song from the 80s.
If we're talking recency, its clear neither of them is in the form of their life. Auger-Aliassime, despite his number 6 seeding, seems to be having as troubled a month as a turkey around Thanksgiving. A plethora of losses and little to show for his time on the clay.
Mpetshi Perricard, on the other hand, is unseeded for this tournament. He's playing with as much pressure as a goose in Central Park, enjoying crumbs thrown by strangers. But he's been dealt a shaky hand recently too. Although if we're clinging to straws of optimism, Perricard did notch up a win in his most recent match.
Therefore, my dear tennis-betting enthusiasts, I'm reluctantly thinking Perricard might just edge this one out, probably not in the most graceful fashion.
