Taylor Fritz of the United States tussles with big-serving Giovanni Perricard of France in the third round of the 2025 Shanghai Masters on Sunday.
Current Form:
Fresh off an escape act against Fabian Marozsan in the second round, 2-6 7-6, 7-6, Fritz looks to book another round-of-16 stint at the Shanghai Masters against arguably the hardest serving player in tennis today, Perricard. After a victorious campaign at Laver Cup, Fritz salvaged four impressive wins before bowing to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the 2025 Japan Open. Fritz improved his hard-court record to 31-11 and overall record to 50-18 overall in 2025.
Perricard advanced to the third round of the 2025 Shanghai Masters following 6-3, 7-6 win over Luca Nardi of Italy in the second round. The Frenchman launched 11 aces and won 41 points behind the first ball to hold all except one service game played. Perricard also broke Nardi twice, which was enough to get the edge in this matchup.

Our Taylor Fritz vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard Prediction
Fritz survived Perricard in a five-set showdown in the first round of the 2025 Wimbledon Open 6-7, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 6-4. In that match, Perricard collected 101 points behind his first serves and surrendered only two games out of the 28 service games played. In short, Fritz had a tough time returning Perricard’s massive serves before figuring it out in the later sets.
Expect the same scenario for the second career meetings between Fritz and Perricard. Armed with massive serves, the Frenchman is going to present problems for Fritz, who will be playing his 8th match in the span of 15 days.
Fritz might still be too good to hack out another close win, but I believe Perricard’s unplayable serves can help him hold a lot of games against the weary Fritz.
