📜 Head-to-Head

First meeting

🔍 Match Breakdown

Botic’s keys: Extend rallies, use his experience to pressure GPP in return games, and keep first-serve % high to avoid giving away free looks.

Mpetshi Perricard’s keys: Serve bombs, keep rallies short, and attack Botic’s second serve. His tiebreak record makes him very dangerous in close sets.

X-factor: Both have played multiple 3-setters this week, but Botic has spent more time on court. GPP’s serve gives him a fresher path.

🔮 Prediction

Botic is playing his best tennis in months and thrives in these conditions, but GPP’s serve-heavy style is tough to handle on Winston-Salem’s quick hard courts. Expect at least one tiebreak, but the Frenchman’s firepower gives him the edge.

Pick: Mpetshi Perricard in 2 tight sets (likely TBs).
