Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, a 21-year-old French player, is currently ranked world number 31 and achieved his career-high ranking of 30. He started the 2024 season ranked 205 but managed to break into the top 100 in May and top 50 in July. In November, he reached his career-high ranking after winning the biggest title of his career at Basel without dropping a single serve throughout the tournament. He saved a championship point to capture his first ATP Tour title in his hometown of Lyon, where he was a wild card ranked 117. On the way to winning the Lyon title, he secured his first victories against top 30 players by defeating Bublik and Etcheverry, ranked 19th and 29th respectively. He also had success at the Challenger level, boasting a 50-33 record and winning titles at Leon, Nottingham, Cuernavaca, and Acapulco in 2023 and 2024. As a junior, he reached a career-high ranking of number 4 and made it to the semifinals of the 2021 Roland Garros boys’ singles, as well as winning the boys’ doubles title with Fils.
Notably, Mpetshi Perricard finished the 2024 season strongly with a 6-1 run and clinched the biggest title of his career in Basel. He has a 2-6 record on outdoor hard on the tour-level, with victories over Ruusuvuori in Washington and Sun in Chengdu last year.
On the other side, we have Nick Kyrgios, a 29-year-old Australian player. He reached his career-high ranking of 13 and broke into the top 50 at the age of 19 in 2015. In 2016, he ended the year at his career-high ranking. Kyrgios had an impressive run at the 2022 Wimbledon, reaching the final as the 40th seed, becoming the first unseeded Grand Slam men’s finalist since Tsonga at the 2008 Australian Open. Additionally, he became the lowest-ranked player to reach the final since Baghdatis, ranked 54th, at the 2006 Australian Open.
Kyrgios had a successful 2022 season, earning a total of 61 victories in singles and doubles, winning his seventh singles title in Washington, as well as doubles titles at the Australian Open with Kokkinakis, Atlanta with Kokkinakis, and Washington with Sock. Throughout his career, Kyrgios has defeated top-ranked players, including Nadal at Wimbledon in 2014 and Medvedev at the US Open in 2022.
It’s worth noting that this match marks Kyrgios’ return to singles competition since June 2023, where he lost to Wu in the first round in Stuttgart. He is eager to secure his first win since defeating Majchrzak in the second round of the 2022 Tokyo tournament. Kyrgios is one of two former champions in the draw, along with Dimitrov, who won the title in 2017 and 2024.
