Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, an emerging star in the world of French tennis, continues to impress many with his remarkable rise that garners admiration from fans and experts alike. Following a triumphant title victory in Basel, he is currently one of the highlights of the Rolex Paris Masters. Just 48 hours after claiming his title in Switzerland and with minimal time to adapt to the pressure of the Bercy center court, Mpetshi Perricard overwhelmed American player Frances Tiafoe in a recent match. Remarkably, the French player has now triumphed over five of the six top 20 players he has faced this season.

Medvedev Sees Mpetshi Perricard’s Potential in the Top 10

“I believe he can easily achieve it,” stated Daniil Medvedev during a recent interview with RMC Sport after his unexpected first-round exit. “He can definitely break into the top 10,” the Russian assured, reflecting on his defeat to Alexei Popyrin. “Isn’t he around 30th or 40th? 30? (31st this week, editor’s note). You can smile about that. Being 30th is both a considerable distance and close at the same time. Competing in a Grand Slam? That will pose challenges for him. Even in Basel, if I’m correct, he fought through four match tiebreaks. Winning them is essential and it’s not straightforward, particularly as matches are best of five sets. However, he certainly has the ability. By the way, he plays quite well all around. For someone weighing 102 kilos, his play is phenomenal. Is he the best server on the tour? I think so. Probably,” confessed the Russian player.

Facing Khachanov: A Colleague and Competitor

For his second-round match on Wednesday, Mpetshi Perricard will face another Russian player, Karen Khachanov, with whom he frequently trains. Khachanov, too, sees no limitations that might hinder the Frenchman’s progress. “He has an incredible serve, a formidable weapon, but he’s also very agile for his size. His explosiveness and power make him a dangerous opponent,” Khachanov explained to L’Équipe.
