Coming off his first career top-5 win, will Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard of France book his first ATP 1000 quarterfinals appearance?
The big-serving Frenchman will lock horns with Holger Rune of Denmark on Tuesday for a place in the final eight at the 2025 Shanghai Masters.
Current Form:
For the first time in his career, Perricard reached the fourth round of a big tournament after claiming his first ATP top-5 win against Taylor Fritz 6-4, 7-5. Perricard held all his serves by winning 32 points behind his first serves and adding 13 more off the second ball, on top of 12 aces. The Frenchman also broke Fritz twice, giving him enough separation to finish off the gassed-out American in two sets. Perricard improved his hard-court record to 12-12 in 2025.
Rune reached the round of 16 of the Shanghai Masters in consecutive years after downing Ugo Humbert 6-4, 6-4 in the second round. The Dutchman was in cruise control throughout the match, capturing 80 percent of his first serves and breaking his French foe’s serves three times. Rune is now 19-9 on the hard court and 33-20 overall in 2025.

Our Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs Holger Rune Prediction
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard has held 95 percent of his serves or 21 out of 22 service games played in Shanghai. Perricard has always been a big server, but he has definitely taken this arsenal to another level in this tournament. Against Rune, Perricard faces an experienced and crafty opponent who can counterpunch his aggressive play. He defeated the Dane in their first meeting in the semifinal at the 2024 Swiss Indoors Basel 7-6, 6-4, but Rune leveled the series to 1-1 with a 7-6, 6-3 win at the 2025 Canadian Open. Perricard boasts a winning record of 7-6 against the ATP top-20, while Rune has an impressive 19-11 record against the ATP top-50 this year alone.
Fearless Forecast: This is not an easy match to pick a winner, but I am going with Perricard in this one. The Frenchman’s service game is unplayable in this tournament, putting a lot of pressure on Rune to break his serves. I got Perricard winning 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 in a nail-biting three-setter.
Our betting prediction for Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs Holger Rune: Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard will win.
