Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard will not have the desired debut at Roland Garros 2026 in front of his people because on the other side of the net will be Novak Djokovic. The 24-time Grand Slam champion will be his first opponent, yet the Frenchman remains positive and eager to cause an upset: "It will be a great fight. It's impressive to face such a high-caliber opponent, but to play well and win a tournament, you have to beat the best. I will play against him in the first round. Whatever happens at the end of the match, it will benefit my game a lot. So, I am very excited. I am very happy to have this opportunity," declared the ATP's number 80.
