Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard will hope to arrest his slide in ATP tour events when he takes on Mariano Navone next. The two will be meeting in the Madrid Masters first round, and the winner will face Ben Shelton in the second round. We have the prediction for this match below.

Mpetshi Perricard has exited his last three tour events at this stage. Ahead of his arrival in Madrid, he had fallen in straight sets against Hamad Medjedovic in Barcelona.

That was his fourth straight defeat, and he is on a losing run, having compiled a 6-7 record. His opening two matches on clay this season ended in defeat.

Navone has the perfect chance to avenge his earlier defeat against Mpetshi Perricard. In their only meeting to date, in the Lima Challenger three years ago, Navone lost in three sets.

The Argentine is coming from a three-set defeat against David Goffin at the BMW Open in Munich. It was a painful collapse for Navone, who claimed the first set 6-0 before falling 7-5, 6-1 in the next two.

Some consistency will do for Navone here, having managed back-to-back wins just once in his last 10 matches. However, in his last eight tournaments, Navone has claimed first-round wins six times.
