Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs Lorenzo Musetti Prediction & Picks - ATP Beijing Open

Prediction published on 9/26/25, 3:30 AM  by Tyler Doty in Tennis Picks

Just one month ago, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard suffered defeat at the hands of Lorenzo Musetti in the first round of the US Open. This Friday in Beijing, the Frenchman will have the opportunity to take his revenge, but will he have what it takes? While there have been some positive signs in the Frenchman's game in recent weeks, his performances in Chengdu last week were not encouraging, with a hard-fought victory over Filip Misolic in the first round before losing to Kazakhstan's Alexander Shevchenko in the second round. Ranked 36th in the world, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard will need to earn big points at the end of the season to maintain his place in the top 50, which will require a good tournament in Beijing starting on Friday.

Another missed opportunity is what Lorenzo Musetti might be thinking after his defeat in the final in Hangzhou on Tuesday. This is the Italian's second defeat in a final in China after the one in 2024, missing out on the opportunity to taste another ATP title more than three years after his last. Ranked ninth in the world when he arrived in the Chinese capital, the Italian tennis player will once again be one to watch in the 2025 edition. But after several failures to close out matches, can Lorenzo Musetti really dream of a title in Beijing?
