Command Analysis
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard
FranceCurrent form
Mpeshi looked very, very good last season. The 21-year-old Frenchman won five titles in 2024 and on open hard courts he won 15 victories and lost nine.
Professional qualities
Mpeshi impresses with his powerful serve, regularly hitting a lot of aces on fast surfaces. His forehand is much stronger than his backhand, which needs some work. The Frenchman prefers short rallies, finishing them in three or four strokes at most, which helps him avoid long exchanges. However, his return remains his weak point.

Mpeshi is currently ranked 31st in the world. Giovanni has won five trophies in the past season. He won the challengers in Nottingham, Acapulco and Morelos. In addition, the Frenchman won two ATP titles - in Lyon and Basel.

Kyrgios took a break from his career due to a wrist injury and has not played since the summer of 2023. He played one exhibition match ahead of the new season, where he lost to Andrey Rublev in one set.
Professional qualities
Kyrgios stands out for his unconventional technique and ability to turn a match into a spectacular show. The Australian masterfully uses key elements of the game, including a powerful serve, spectacular drop shots and unexpected trips to the net. The main challenge for Nick is to regain his playing form after a wrist injury.
