A new giant aims to establish a regular presence in the ATP circuit, and that is Giovanni Mpetschi Perricard. The Frenchman surpassed Holger Rune in the semifinal of the ATP Basel thanks to his powerful serving game (7-6 6-4). The Dane only gave two break opportunities throughout the match, but Perricard managed to seize one of them and did not give Rune any chances on his own service games.

Mpetschi Perricard will seek his fifth title of the year (second in the ATP top categories) against Ben Shelton, another big server. They will face off tomorrow, Sunday, October 27th, starting at 3:30 PM (Spanish peninsular time).

As for Holger Rune, he will arrive at the ATP Rolex Paris Masters without any titles for the entire season, and based on his current form, it seems unlikely that he will repeat the feat achieved two years ago when he won the trophy at that venue.
