Denis Shapovalov vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard preview
One of the quarterfinals at the 2024 Swiss Indoors will feature an interesting match-up between former World No. 10 Denis Shapovalov and the big-serving Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. The Canadian has not been in his best form in 2024, as his 21-21 record for the season indicates. The only event where the Canadian won three consecutive main draw matches was at the Citi Open, where he lost to Ben Shelton in the quarterfinal.

At the Swiss Indoors this year, the World No. 95 received a wildcard to enter the main draw. He began his campaign with a commanding 6-1, 6-4 win over Juncheng Shang in the first round. He then defeated the recently crowned European Open champion Roberto Bautista Agut 6-3, 7-6 (4), to reach his second quarterfinal of the season.
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard has only played 23 main draw matches in 2024, winning 12. The Frenchman's crowning moment of the season came at the Lyon Open, where he clinched his maiden ATP title with a 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (7) win over Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the final. As a lucky loser, he also reached the fourth round at Wimbledon, losing 6-4, 3-6, 3-6, 2-6 to Lorenzo Musetti.
Perricard began his campaign in Basel with a 7-6 (4), 6-3 win over Australian qualifier James Duckworth. He then put up an impressive display as he knocked out the two-time defending champion and eighth seed, Felix Auger-Aliassime with a 6-1, 7-6 (8) win to reach the quarterfinal.

Denis Shapovalov vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard prediction
Shapovalov hit 18 aces and won 73 percent of his service points against Roberto Bautista Agut in the previous match. The Canadian hit 45 winners in two sets. However, his first serve percentage was only 59 and he made as many as 39 unforced errors as well.
Against Auger-Aliassime, Perricard hit 22 aces and won 82 percent of his service points. The Frenchman did not face a single break point throughout the match against a high-quality opponent like Auger-Aliassime. He also hit 30 winners and made only 15 unforced errors.
Both Shapovalov and Perricard are serve-dependent players, and the match might see multiple tiebreaks to separate the two players. Also, with both players serving well, the odd break of service will be invaluable in the match. Given how Shpaovalov has a high propensity for making unforced errors, the Frenchman will be the favorite in the coming match.
Pick- Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard to win in straight sets
