Felix Auger-Aliassime plays his first match on grass this season in preparation for Wimbledon.
The pregame narrative: The Canadian battles Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the Stuttgart Open second-round match on Thursday. The young Frenchman is arguably on his best playing surface, where he had a lot of success in 2024.

These two met recently when Auger Aliassime defeated Mpetshi Perricard in straight sets at the Hamburg Open in May.
That was on clay, though, and I think the surface plays a huge role in the rematch.
- Mpetshi Perricard is 13-5 (72.2%) in his career on grass, which is much higher than his 57.3% win rate on clay.
- He went 10-4 on grass in 2024 against some good competition.
- That includes a run to the fourth round at Wimbledon, where he notably beat No. 23-ranked Sebastian Korda along the way.
He ended up losing to Lorenzo Musetti in London, which doesn’t hurt his stock. The Italian has broken out as one of the top players in the world and is currently ranked No. 6.
On the other side, Auger-Aliassime is pretty good on grass himself. He went 0-2 on the surface last year, but was dealing with injuries at the time and even retired early in one of the matches.
He’s 22-13 on grass in his career. I don’t want to completely fade the Canadian, especially since he beat his opponent recently, but I will take the over and expect a long match.
Key stat: Auger-Aliassime and Mpetshi Perricard have played two career matches and have each won two sets against one another.
