Mpetshi Perricard wins the Lyon tournament!

Mpetshi Perricard wins the Lyon tournament!

What a crazy week for Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. Invited by the tournament organizers, he put together a string of majestic results to claim the first ATP title of his young career on Saturday. Winning the final against Tomas Martin Etcheverry (6-4, 1-6, 7-6 in 2h28), he was able to settle down on Lyon's clay for the last time.

After victories over Sonego (6-3, 6-4), Gaston (6-4, 4-6, 6-3) and Bublik (6-4, 7-5), this magnificent final win was the icing on the cake for him. Faced with an opponent very much at ease on clay, he went through all the emotions, even saving a match point, before being able to raise his arms. Ultra-aggressive and very successful, his high-risk game (41 winners, 15 unforced errors, 11 aces) was finally rewarded at the end of an immense final.

A native of Lyon, the Frenchman thus brought a magnificent end to a tournament that was to see its last edition: a Lyonnais crowned for the last time. Now it's off to Roland-Garros for both men, with hopefully confirmation to come for Mpetshi Perricard (invited by the Parisian tournament).

The person who write this article is completely incorrect, or simply ignorant to write the statement "Jannik Sinner is all about himself". Is the writer for real? Jannik is the most decent, humble and
