🇺🇸 Taylor Fritz

Taylor Fritz is ranked No. 5 in the world, entering Wimbledon with a 25-11 record in 2025 and an impressive 8-1 on grass. He defended his Eastbourne title on 28 June, the fourth lawn title to his name, while earlier in the month, practicing his ace serve and out-hitting Zverev in Stuttgart with 8-5. He's very hot on grass and has still to concede a serve break in the wins at Stuttgart and Eastbourne. Serving-wise, he averages nearly nine aces per match and has a conversion rate of 65.5% on his first serve. Referring to a recent interview at Eastbourne, he had fierce Grand Slam ambitions: "My happiness revolves around results... I'd think about it forever if I don't win a slam". Active on social media, the player's post celebrating four grass titles shows confidence and focus. At Wimbledon, Fritz hopes to break through for the first time- back-to-back quarter-finals in 2023-24 see him as a favorite to really go deep this year.

🇫🇷 Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard

The Frenchman ranks 36 after having achieved career-high ranking No. 29 in February 2025. With a loud booming serve to complement his game, he has won two ATP Tour titles in 2024 and staked claim to a Challenger crown in Bordeaux in the month of May. His grass-court record this season stands at 1-2, with a second-round knockout in Stuttgart and a quarter-final finish in Queen's. He went to Round 4 on his Wimbledon debut in 2024, untouchable when pressure was applied on his serve. No statements came through social media, but his coach expressed confidence after his clay Challenger win. The Frenchman has a considerable one-handed backhand and retains his unpredictability when that big serve is working well. Being unseeded and perhaps overlooked, the threat level could turn up should Fritz lose his early rhythm.

Taylor Fritz vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard Match Prediction

Fritz has the edge in Grand Slam experience, grass-court mastery, and form. Still, Mpetshi Perricard’s thunderous serve could snatch momentum in early sets. I’m leaning 3–1 Fritz in a match with long service games and minimal breaks—value lies in aces and game totals for this grass-court slugfest.

Fritz to Win 3–1 Sets @ 3.78 odds on Bet365 — Perricard’s serve will likely earn him a set, but Fritz’s return consistency and shot tolerance should outlast him across five.

Over 39.5 Total Games @ 1.60 odds on Betway — Even in a 4-set match, this line should be surpassed with at least one tiebreak and closely fought sets.

Total Sets Over 3.5 @ 1.6 odds on 1xbet — Expect at least four sets. Perricard is too dangerous to get swept in three, and Fritz isn’t likely to steamroll him.
