Mpeshi— Zhang. Forecast for the ATP Dubai match
Mpeshi and Zhang will meet in the first round of the Dubai tournament on February 24. Last season, Zhang beat Mpeshi on the Cincinnati courts. Now the Chinese tennis player is far from his best playing conditions. Will Giovanni be able to take revenge for last year's defeat? - the bets for this match are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard
FranceCurrent form
Mpeshi has played in only two tournaments so far this season. At the Brisbane competition, he managed to reach the semifinal stage, where he lost to Reilly Opelka. And at the Australian Open, Giovanni quickly sheathed his racket, losing in the first round to Gael Monfils.
Professional qualities
Mpeshi is a two–meter tall tennis player with a powerful serve that allows him to shock his opponents in almost every match. However, the Frenchman still has to improve other aspects of the game, especially the backhand, which remains his weak spot for now.
Current indicators in the tour
Mpeshi made himself known last season when he won two major tournaments. He won on clay in Lyon and won the indore competition held in Basel. These were the first ATP trophies for a French tennis player in his career. Mpeshi is currently ranked 30th in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
Mpeshi has scored seven wins in the last ten matches.
Zhizhen Zhang
ChinaCurrent form
Zhang has not shown anything yet this season - he has only four wins with seven losses. At the open hardy, he scored one win in six matches. Last week, Zhizhen competed in Doha - he left those competitions after the first round, losing to Luca Nardi.
Professional qualities
Zhang is dangerous due to his high-quality first serve and good forehand and backhand shots, which allows him to make the right decisions on the court. He is stable on different surfaces, but prefers hard surfaces. Zhizhen's weaknesses are endurance and poor footwork.
Current indicators in the tour
Zhang is the 49th racket of the world at the moment. During his career, the Chinese tennis player has won six titles. He won the last one in 2023 at the Asian Games.
Interesting facts for betting
Zhang left Dubai last season following the results of the first round.

1.98Tip and bets
The courts in Dubai are fast, and therefore these are ideal conditions for Mpeshi and his powerful serve. Giovanni, however, has not played for a long time, so his current form is questionable, but we think that the Frenchman will not need much time to build up. We believe that he will be able to beat Zhang in the upcoming meeting and get even with him for the loss in Cincinnati last year.
Our forecast is that Mpesha will win by a factor of 1.81
Bet on the total
Mpeshi often plays "riding" duels. We do not think that this match will be an exception. Most likely, this match with the participation of the Frenchman will turn out to be protracted.
The second forecast is a total of more than 24 games for a coefficient of 1.72
Bet on the first set
In three of Zhang's last five matches, more than 9.5 games were played in the first set. We believe that the upcoming meeting against Mpesha will also begin with the "riding" of the first game.
The forecast is a total of more than 9.5 games in the first set for a coefficient of 1.56
