At the beginning of the year, the Frenchman arrived to the semi-finals of the tournament in Sofia, where he was defeated by D. Medvedev, and another semifinals played in the tournament in Dubai, where after a great fight in three sets better than him was D. Tsitsipas. Monfils in the previous round of Indian Wells completely outplayed P. Kohlschreiber by leaving him only two games. We will remind that Kohlschreiber is eliminating N. Djokovic.

Tennis Prediction of the Day Monfils vs Thiem

All four previously played matches between these two tennis players belonged to Thiem. However, this season, Monfils is playing in a very good form so this is the ideal moment for him to alleviate the current negative score. Thiem has shown in the current course of the tournament that he can deal with top-level servers, and this group includes G. Monfils. We believe that we expect an equal fight that could result in a greater number of games than the offered threshold.
