Fabian Marozsan vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard Prediction

Marozsan is the slight favorite according to the oddsmakers, which might be mildly surprising at first glance, but it's easy to see why. I think this is more of a 50/50 matchup and the odds indicate so. It's a tight line. Mpetshi Perricard will almost always have the last laugh on quick hard courts because of his monstrous serve that not many players have the exceptional return to break and has an excellent tie-break record. But Marozsan can use all his craft to pose some tricky questions, with drop shots, ground stroke acceleration, and slices. Marozsan is a tough cookie when his game is on and exceeded expectations by reaching the second week of Indian Wells last year. GMP will need a flawless serving performance. I'm leaning on the games here.
