Jordan Thompson is currently ranked 41st and boasts a form index of 36.88, along with an Elo rating of 1516.75. His surface strength index on clay stands at 11.65, indicating his capability on this surface. Notably, Thompson has a mean serve index of 97.87 and a mean return index of 87.28, showcasing his strong serving and returning abilities. In contrast, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard holds a higher rank of 36 and a surface strength index of 12.18. However, his lower form index of 16.40 and an Elo rating of 1383.18 suggest he has struggled recently. The difference in their mean return indices of over 5 points further tilts the advantage toward Thompson. In their last three matches, Thompson has had mixed results but recently defeated Perricard 2-0 in sets during their encounter in Monte Carlo. He showed resilience despite losing to higher-ranked opponents like Stefanos Tsitsipas. On the other hand, Perricard has faced tougher times, losing all three of his last matches, including two straight-set defeats in Barcelona and Madrid. This trend indicates a decline in form that could impact his performance against Thompson.
