After four defeats against Lorenzo Musetti, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard has finally reversed the trend: a great match, and a qualification for his 3rd semi-final of the season.

This Friday, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, 22, got his revenge by dominating world number 8 Lorenzo Musetti in the quarter-finals of the ATP 250 tournament in Brussels (6-4, 7-6). The Frenchman had been on a run of four consecutive defeats against the Italian, some of which were particularly frustrating: Stuttgart and Wimbledon 2024, US Open and Beijing 2025.

In the semi-finals, Mpetshi Perricard will face the Czech Jiri Lehecka, world number 17, an opponent he has only faced once: a defeat (6-4, 6-7, 7-6) at the Liberec Challenger (Czech Republic) in 2022.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
