Big Gio!
Our French giant is coming off an excellent season on clay, the grass should normally suit his game well so we are all curious to see what it will be like!
Two victories in qualifying, the last of which in 3 tie-breaks, he laid the foundations for Giovanni. With his mutant serve, he should often go to the tie-break on this surface. Even for a receiver as good as Musetti it's complicated on the return and the Italian will have to use his backhand slice to force Mpetshi to play very low balls which are annoying given his size. Last year the Italian was surprising on grass, he knew how to raise his level on serve and be more aggressive than usual. In any case, given his grounding game, he must force himself to move forward otherwise he will not succeed on this surface. With his slice and his passing quality I think he will have some opportunities on the return that he will have to seize!
