Mpetshi Perricard joins Shelton in Basel final
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard continues his meteoric rise.
The young Tricolore, who has had an impressive 2024 season, has just dominated a fine Holger Rune to reach the final (7-6, 6-4).
Often dominated in the exchange, the 21-year-old right-hander held his nerve, relying on a destructive first ball and remarkable efficiency.
Taking advantage of a Dane who was still a little shaky, Mpetshi Perricard will now play in his second ATP final of the season against Ben Shelton.
