We are going to the first round of the Lyon tournament in a match in which from my point of view the odds are reversed and I see the South African Harris slightly favorite. I think the bookies are overvaluing both the ranking and the location of Monfils in this tournament.

Monfils G. : Form, news and statistics

Monfils has been with injuries for a few months, none of them serious but continuous, as well as confidence problems in his game (it seems that due to sentimental issues related to his relationship with Svitolina), he has not won a game for more than a year . This season he has only played three games, with continuous stoppages due to alleged injuries and, although it is true that in Madrid he showed a slight improvement in his match against Sonego, I think that it is not enough for him to be a favorite tomorrow no matter how much he plays in France, Well, the tournament will be without spectators until the quarterfinals and there will only be an audience from there in the center. In addition, Lyon is a tournament that neither fu nor fa for LeMonf, who has only played it three times since 2004.

Harris L. : Form, news and statistics

Regarding the rival, it is not that he is the most dangerous that can cross against the Frenchman on clay, but he is a good tennis player, very correct and with good baseline game and mobility despite his height, who bases his game on his great service . While clay is not his preferred surface, it is not that he is allergic to it. Basically he is a tennis player who has been progressing little by little and if he has a good day he can beat anyone (this year he has defeated people like Dimitrov, Krajinovic, Shapovalov, Nishikori or Thiem) and he can perfectly do it against this version so deteriorated of the current Monfils, no matter how much it is played on clay.
