Big servers Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard of France will go up against Zhang Zhizhen of China in a surefire rumbustious first-round duel at the 2025 Dubai Tennis Championship. Mpetshi Perricard steps onto the court for the first time since winning over Matheus Pucenili de Almeida 6-4 6-4 in the Davis Cup qualifier in late January. Perricard has been battling with fitness issues in the past weeks, which forced him to withdraw from the Rotterdam and Marseille Open. Zhang is 3-7 this season and has lost his last two matches. The Chinese has had signature win over former top-10 player Hubert Hurkacz to reach the quarterfinal round at Marseille, where he withdrew mid-game against Zizou Bergs of Belgium. Zhang ranks No.49 in the world.

Our Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs Zhizhen Zhang Prediction
I pick Zhang to win in this matchup with Perricard, who will play his first match in three weeks. There’s no doubt that Perricard can turn into an ace-scoring machine if his service game is on. However, it’s still unclear if he has fully recovered from the fitness problem that forced him to withdraw in Rotterdam and Marseille. On the other hand, Zhang has been active on the tour. Despite his underwhelming 3-7 record, the Chinese will step into his match vs. Perricard already in game shape. Furthermore, Zhang defeated Perricard 6-3 7-6(4) in their first and only meeting in the first round of the 2024 Cincinnati Open. Our betting prediction for Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs. Zhang Zhizhen: Zhang Zhizhen will win.
