Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard was embarking on a bright future, showcasing his superb tennis skills, now reaching their peak at the Basel ATP. The 21-year-old Frenchman has just won his first ATP 500 title and the second of his career after the victory in Lyon earlier this year. Moreover, Perricard faced a tough challenge in the final against Ben Shelton, but the Frenchman managed to keep his opponent at bay (6-4 7-6(4)) and conclude a fantastic week with victories over Auger-Aliassime, Shapovalov, and Rune. A remarkable journey for Perricard, who will rise to the 31st spot in the world rankings next Monday, leaving a very positive impression for 2025.
