ATP Hamburg: Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs Félix Auger-Aliassime

🧠 Form & Context

🇫🇷 Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard

• 🏆 Challenger Momentum: Fresh off a Bordeaux Challenger title and followed it up with a strong R1 win over Bublik (7–6, 6–4) in Hamburg.
• 🚀 Breakthrough Reminder: Won his first ATP title last May in Lyon as a wildcard—proving that clay can bring out his best.
• ❗ Tour Inconsistency: Has struggled to find rhythm on the ATP main tour this season despite his weaponized serve—this match is a big opportunity.

🇨🇦 Félix Auger-Aliassime

• 🧊 Skid Snapped: Ended a six-match losing streak with a convincing 6–3, 6–3 win over Altmaier in R1—his first clay win of the year.
• 🎯 Early 2025 Form: Was excellent to start the season with three ATP finals and two titles, before a steep slump through April and May.
• 🔄 Trying to Stabilize: Losses to underdogs like Pellegrino and a poor clay stretch affected his confidence—his Hamburg opener could mark a turning point.
• 🔁 H2H Revenge: Lost to Mpetshi Perricard in their only previous meeting—motivation will be high for payback.
