STAN WAWRINKA VS GAEL MONFILS PREDICTION

Despite having faced each other seven times across their long careers, Stan Wawrinka and Gael Monfils will play each other for the first time on a grass court. Neither would claim it as their favourite surface, although Monfils’ overall record on grass is superior to that of Wawrinka which is key to note when assessing the potential outcome of this contest.

Wawrinka is a fighter and won’t go down quietly to Monfils, who has contested plenty of grand slam thrillers across his career on all surfaces. With that in mind, it would be no surprise if these two veterans went the distance and a smart move would be to back a five-set encounter.
