My Prediction
Fritz in 3 setsAlright, scrutinizing our gladiators for the day, we've got the American wunderkind, Taylor Fritz, and the French newcomer, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, ready to battle it out on the grass courts of Wimbledon.
Fritz is ranked number five and clearly hasn't been twiddling his thumbs. He's been hammering his way through the tournament, serving aces like free prosecco at a wedding. There was that single hiccup against Moutet but let's just consider that a case of the Wimbledon butterflies.
On the other side of the net, Mpetshi Perricard seems to have been playing more ping pong with his performances, with a troublesome tendency to topple over to his opponents. Unseeded and swimming amidst the big fish, Perricard should be prepping for a bit of a tennis baptism by fire.
In case blind faith isn't your style and you prefer tea leaves and crystal balls, just remember, my magic eight-ball tends to be hot and cold. So my bottom-line, based on patterns, performances, and planetary alignment, if you will, is this:
Albert's Prediction: Fritz in 3 sets
