Frances Tiafoe vs Mpetshi Perricard, Brisbane Betting Predictions

In the round of 16 in the ATP Brisbane event, we’ll see no 18-ranked Frances Tiafoe taking on 31-ranked Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. Let’s look at some details and a preview ahead of this clash and our betting predictions and favorite bets.

Fourth-seeded Tiafoe got through the first round with a solid victory over Adam Walton, 7-6, 6-3, where he loked good on the serve. Now the American is facing a more dangerous threat when big-hitting Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard is on the other side of the net.

Mpetshi Perricard is really one of the rising stars on the tour and we might see a lot from him in 2025. In the first round he managed to win the interesting clash vs Nick Kyrgios that is now returning on the ATP tour. It was a hard fought victory though and the tie-break was needed in all three sets before a winner could be announced 7-6 (2), 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3).

Mpetshi Perricard is nowadays one of the best servers on tour and this showed clearly in the first round where we saw no less than 36 aces from him, winning 89% of his points from first serve.

These two only met once on tour before, it was last year at the Paris Masters where Mpetshi Perricard was the strongest in the third set and clinched the victory 6-7, 7-6, 6-3.

Predictions and Odds for Frances Tiafoe vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard

Tiafoe is the bookies slight favorite at 1.87 | -120 while a bet on Perricard gives you 2.00 | +100. So for some predictions…

We suspect another match dominated by the serve games, like in Paris. Tiafoe is the slightly more experienced player on hard courts and if he manages to deal fairly well with the first serve of the Frenchman, he should have the edge to qualify to next round.

This looks like a game with at least one tie-break and might be three sets to separate them.
