Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In the upcoming match, Felix Auger-Aliassime from Canada, who is currently ranked No. 19 in the world, will face Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard from France. This will be their first meeting on the ATP Tour.

Auger-Aliassime had a breakout season in 2022, achieving a career-high ranking of No. 6 and earning 60 wins. He went on a remarkable 16-match win streak and won three consecutive titles at Florence, Antwerp, and Basel. He also won the Rotterdam title, breaking his previous 0-8 record in singles finals. Additionally, he reached the quarterfinals of three consecutive Grand Slam tournaments and excelled in team events such as the ATP Cup, Laver Cup, and Davis Cup. In 2024, he reached the final of the Madrid Masters, becoming the first Canadian clay court ATP Masters 1000 finalist in history. Furthermore, at the 2021 US Open, he became the first Canadian male singles semifinalist.

As an 18-year-old in 2019, Auger-Aliassime broke records by becoming the youngest Top-25 player since Hewitt in 1999. He also became the youngest ATP 500 finalist at the Rio de Janeiro tournament and the youngest semifinalist in the history of the Miami tournament. This week, he aims to extend his perfect record of 11-0 at the event and become the first player born in 1991 or later to three-peat at an ATP Tour event. He also hopes to advance to his 51st tour-level quarterfinal and his sixth of 2024.

Looking at indoor win leaders since the start of the 2022 season, Auger-Aliassime is in the lead with 49 wins and five titles. Following him are Holger Rune, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alexander Bublik, Jannik Sinner, and Novak Djokovic.

On the other side, Mpetshi Perricard, who is 21 years old and currently ranked No. 50 in the world, had a significant achievement in May 2024. Despite being ranked No. 117, he won his first ATP Tour title at his hometown Lyon after saving a championship point. This victory propelled him into the Top 100 and later reached a career-high ranking of No. 44 in July. Along the way to his Lyon title, he secured his first wins against Top 30 players, defeating Bublik and Etcheverry. He also made history by becoming the first lucky loser to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon since 1995.

In his career, Mpetshi Perricard has a solid record in Challengers, with a 50-33 record and four titles. He was also successful in the junior circuit, reaching the No. 4 ranking and reaching the semifinals of the 2021 Roland Garros boys’ singles.

In this match, Mpetshi Perricard is seeking his third ATP Tour quarterfinal appearance and his biggest one yet. He previously reached the quarterfinals at Antwerp in 2023 and Lyon in May 2024. He will be aiming for his first win on hard courts against a Top 20 opponent, as his previous victories over Bublik and Shelton came on clay and grass, respectively.

The match between Auger-Aliassime and Mpetshi Perricard will take place on IWB COURT 1.
