Lorenzo Musetti vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard INTENSE Battle | Stuttgart 2024 Highlights

[@SIMOLAMBOTZ]

I think I've never seen a player serving constantly around 230 km/h 😱 Chapeau to Musetti for winning this match 😂

[@mathieumarchesin7698]

that's what I thought the first time I saw him, the guy doesn't hit second serves, if he misses the first one, he does not take any security on the second and goes for another first serve ^^

[@fabioferrante9221]

The radar gun looked quite optimistic...

[@theyruinedyoutubeagain]

Mpetshi has quickly become one of my favourite juniors, pumped to see what he's up to next!

[@mkader2494]

Same here. I love watching him. Wish he could have mastered some of those passing shots.

[@fabriserra]

He'll soon be a tough nut to crack for all the players on the tour

[@fabriserra]

@@dowtingtomas.695 I love the timing of your message... Musetti literally destroyed Perricard half an hour afterwards. (It doesn't change my opinion about the french nonetheless)

Mpetshi Perricard has a very bright future on grass. Especially with that booming serve. His volleys have really improved also since his last matches on clay.

[@mkader2494]

I'm looking forward to seeing him blossom

[@MithriII]

Incredible level here from both!

[@Oxamyt3109]

Not at all (glad for Lorenzo though)

[@Sports4life8988]

What a match from both players. Mpetshi Perricard is really talented. Serving absolute bullets and moves quite well for a dude that’s 6’8. Knows when to come to the net and has a great one-handed backhander. Bright future ahead for him

[@fernandocenturion1261]

that one handed backhand is really horrible

[@jonas8993]

@@fernandocenturion1261 based on your tastes maybe but in terms of efficiency it's excellent for a one hander. He's only missing the slice.

[@Rjesse111]

He seems like he’s afraid to hit winners on backhand. He is probably prioritizing angles idk.Most of his strokes are controlled, no spin and pace.

[@arcaquattro]

Congrats to Musetti. I'm italian and happy...but his opponent Perricard will be an hard bone for many into the ATP...

[@daniele8716]

And especially on grass.... no one would like to meet this guy at first round at the Championships, for sure.

[@valle3452]

Holy shirt! Never would have thought Musetti could pull this off, Perricard is serving bullets all day; he's going places. Happy for Lorenzo.

[@ProbablyLying]

Both players are elite.

[@BrotherTree1]

Very unlucky for Mpetshi Parricard to not win at least one of the breakers. It was a 50-50 match with next to nothing between them. Just literally decided by a point in each set. Surely up there with the most competitive straight set matches ever where either player could've won on a shootout point. And given Musetti's varied play style, he may well be just as dangerous on grass as he is on clay.

[@hitthurdeaux]

Musetti’s backhand is magical sometimes

[@MoorishBrooklyn]

Good battle. Mpetshi serve is nuts. Once he gets comfortable and figures out grass he will be a problem.

[@7Alberto7]

Bravo Lorenzooooooo❤🇮🇹

[@beryl8285]

Wow, that was a great match!!! Glad Musetti pulled that off but Perricard is a beast.

[@zenmanitou]

very nice tennis match from 2 elegant players

[@orlanoanera803]

Mpetshi Perricard could become a serious player in a few years 🤔😯

[@MarcoSolidx]

Next year already

[@richc3511]

And here they meet again in Wimbledon.

[@joshuaalexander-hr3lq]

Think LM is more prepared for the moment and we have years of history to say Perricard doesn’t advance past this point

[@aiLoveE]

however cut this: what about giving a second before the serve, so that one can actually see it fully???

[@CHENOTV]

the serve is crazy lol

[@patriciomora9663]

The French guy is scary good!

[@jacobwilliams1285]

What a fantastic game by both players! Musetti has gotten better, was already superb at RG but for me Perricard is a legit super talent. Only 20 years old.

[@richardp7377]

[@aemiliadelroba4022]

Is Musetti FINALLY waking up from his slumber of the Start of the Season? I hope so...

[@soysaucehairdye7869]

Musetti looks like a young Jimmy G. Mpetshi's serves are brutal.

[@dowtingtomas.695]

Only 2 years ago deluded Italians were saying that this guy was as good as Sinner, Alcaraz, rune😂😂😂😂 . He is a joke.

[@MarcoSolidx]

[@deanneo6352]

they literally went step for step in this match, could have gone either way 😮

[@AdamLischinsky]

Damn, that's a fast court. Not that these guys hit soft.

[@J.-M.]

It's been definitely the fastest court on the tour ever since they switched to grass. They only measure court speed at the bigger tournaments (ATP 500 and higher), but it's obvious that no other tournament, including all other grass court tournaments, comes close to this speed. Wimbledon plays like a clay court compared to this.

[@robertocincotti1413]

[@dominiccalzetti]

Jeez that was a tough match, too much power for even a single rally 😂 just serve or chip and stick a volley, then slap and hope 😅 nightmare first round on grass

[@jw999]

Perricard really has a good set of weapons for grass court.

[@kumaravelseenu2910]

I expect much more from the french man but tuff match it will be interesting to see him play on Wimbledon let hope he can move next week on Wimbledon 😊

[@pawshands9706]

Mpetshi's game is ao.silky ans already quite varied. I will be watching hia progress. Musetti os always tricky, but the new kidnis going to be a handful to many. That serve will be key.

[@Alvaro-t5u]

Bien Musetti, se adapta bien al cesped

[@YallBoiCKenshin]

Giovanni is going to be the next FAA just like Fils, he definitely will be better than Tiafoe tho.

[@J.-M.]

Tiafoe is a former top 10 player, and a grand slam semifinalist. I think this is a very tough ask for Giovanni with his old-school tennis.

[@uominidimmerda]

3:54 - Lo porto io, lo porto

[@J.-M.]

It's strange that Perricard's favourites are Nadal and Roland Garros. He looks like his coach was stuck in the 1980s. Even tall guys like him play modern tennis these days. This boom boom style, those unstable flat hit-and-miss shots with minimum backswing, no margin for error, poor defence... He's 20 but his technique looks very outdated (and not because it's a one-hander). I know he won Lyon and 3 Challengers this year, but I think he'll struggle on the tour.

[@shawnogg8208]

Bravo Musetti. Good lesson for Mpetsh who -meant as a compliment- should be able to beat Musetti on grass (!) with a bit more experience and refinement.

[@peace4myheart]

Don't know who Perricard is but he plays well and will have a bright future ahead of him.

[@J.-M.]

I've been following tennis for decades, and I've seen dozens of new players who people constantly kept saying for sure "have a bright future ahead of them". One thing 99% of them had in common is that they didn't. There were only two major exceptions in recent years, Alcaraz and Sinner. But it was clear they had potential. It's easy to fall into this trap, seing an interesting young player like Perricard hit some nice shots in highlights... But experience shows that this is not the type of a player who makes it big.

[@thanghoang3198]

OTOH, Perricard has real bread-and-butter weapons. With that serve he should be able make it into Top 20 at least.

[@SilentTM]

sorry, how many match points did GMP save?

[@skyjuke2006]

If it was forbidden the two hands backhand, Lorenzo probably would be the Number One in the World :-)

Great match between them both Musetti shouldn’t have been screaming and celebrating when Mpetshi Perricard hit a double fault though. Very disappointing.

[@giovannitadei4670]

Imagine if Mpetshi Perricard was a two-handed-backhander. He'd be stronger receiving and given how strong his serve is...

[@realbillymiller1011]

He probably started as a kid 2 handed, then adapted to one hand in his teens.

[@J.-M.]

I think he would be great even as a one-hander, but unfortunately, his coach taught him the 20th century textbook backhand suited for the old equipment, which has little to do with the modern, 21st century one-hander. This is the biggest problem with the one-hander. Many coaches have no clue about the shot anymore. Most of them don't teach it because they have totally outdated view of the shot, its pros and cons, and those who teach it often only know this outdated 20th century version, too.

[@commentarytalk1446]

@@J.-M. Interesting you picked up on that, it does look like an old-fashioned backhand and I'm not the most knowledgeable on that subject. I still think the 2-handed backhand is the way to go, just robotic consistency then combine that with a destructive service game and it would be a touch opponent to beat over time.

[@thanghoang3198]

@@J.-M.except that the old-school one-handed backhand technique works better in faster surfaces because it is more compact.

[@thanghoang3198]

I can only agree that the 2HBH is better for ROS, however he can develop a chip return to close the gap. OTOH, 1HBH is far better for Gio in all other key aspects of his game: slice, net, approach shots, low balls (high balls are less of problem for a 6ft8 guy).
