Mpetshi Perricard avoids the Shapovalov trap

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard continues his irresistible rise.

A handsome winner over Auger-Aliassime in the Round of 16, he managed to tame the spirited Denis Shapovalov, who was gradually regaining his form (6-7, 6-3, 7-6).

Faced with a risky and unpredictable Canadian, the 21-year-old giant gave himself a fright, narrowly avoiding the trap.

Unflappable on serve and opportunistic in the rallies, he reached the semi-finals in style.

For a place in the final, he will face a certain Holger Rune.
