Gael Monfils vs Alexander Bublik Tennis Prediction

Details:

Monfils is currently ranked 323rd in the world. He is 3-8 for the season and 1-4 on hard.

The Frenchman is coming off a 6-3, 6-4 opening round win over Bjorn Fratangelo which was his third win of the season. 

Monfils is back at the Citi Open for the first time since 2017. He won the tournament in 2016 and reached the final in 2011.

Bublik is enjoying his highest-career ranking being No. 25 in the world. The player from Kazakhstan is 20-22 for the season and 3-8 on hard.

This will be his first match since round of 16 at Wimbledon where he lost to Andrey Rublev in five sets. 

Key facts

• It is 1-1 in head to head matches between Monfils and Bublik
• Monfils is 242-142 on hard in his career
• Bublik is 125-91 on hard in his career

It is clear that Monfils is far from a competitive shape even though he won the opening round match. The Frenchman has played only 11 matches so far in the season and never won more than one in a tournament. That will be the case this time around as well as Bublik will go through. The player from Kazakhstan is having a solid season which he showed with a recent title in Halle and will have no trouble beating Minfils today.
