Fourth seed Tommy Paul begins his 2026 ATP season in Brisbane, where he will face unseeded Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the first round. This is their first career meeting. Below, we have a prediction for this match.
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard ended 2025 with four straight losses. He lost in the opening rounds at Basel, Paris, and Metz. The losses led to him finishing the season with a losing record, having lost 26 of 49 contests.
His final stretch, however, did not do justice to a campaign that saw him earn three semi-final finishes at the tour level. One of those last four appearances was achieved in his debut campaign in Brisbane. Mpetshi Perricard starts the season ranked 58th in the ATP.
Tommy Paul, who is making his Brisbane debut, is set for his first competitive fixture in four months. The American saw his 2025 season end early due to a recurring foot injury.
Paul ended his season after a third-round exit at the US Open. He, however, seems to have fully recovered after winning a recent exhibition match against Nick Kyrgios, his first appearance since August.
Paul had an exciting run in 2025. He made it to a career-high world ranking of number eight after producing quarter-final finishes at the Australian and French Opens. He also had four semi-final finishes in Rome, Dallas, Houston, and Adelaide.

Our Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs Tommy Paul Prediction
Our prediction for Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard v Tommy Paul is - Exact score 1-2. Paul is an exceptional hard-court player and has won over 200 matches on such surfaces. Last year, he won close to 70% of the matches he contested on hard courts.
Mpetshi Perricard is also a strong hard-court performer and will make it tough for his American opponent. The Frenchman, however, had a poor end to last season and hasn’t competed in two months. Match fitness concerns are likely to hinder him here against one of the top players on the tour.
