It's a scary match because there are things you can't control as much," Fritz wary of first-round clash with Mpetshi Perricard

Taylor Fritz, winner of the Stuttgart and Eastbourne tournaments during this grass-court swing, will face Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the first round of Wimbledon.

Last year, the Frenchman continued his breakthrough on tour by reaching the fourth round at the All England Club before being stopped by Lorenzo Musetti. With many ranking points to defend, he'll need to rely on his formidable serve and offensive arsenal to overcome world No. 6 Fritz.

In a press conference, the American admitted this opening match could be tricky:

"It's not the easiest draw. Whenever you play against someone like him, it can come down to a few points, a few shots. It's a scary match because there are things you can't control as much.

But historically, I feel like I've done pretty well against big servers, and I'm fairly confident in my ability to hold my serve.
