Gael Monfils, recently returned from injury, will take on Germany’s Philipp Kohlschreiber as the first round finishes up in Madrid.
Ordinarily, Gael Monfils would go into this match as a heavy favorite against Philipp Kohlschreiber. The Frenchman is ranked 14th in the world and has a fantastic game for clay. Monfils also holds a 5-1 record over the German.
But Monfils hasn’t played a tournament since Miami, owing to injury and hasn’t played a single clay-court match all year.
By contrast, Kohlschreiber just won the title in Munich and at No. 25 in the world, he is approaching his career high ranking of 22nd.
The outcome of this match will depend on how well Kohlschreiber handles the possible fatigue from playing all last week and how quickly Monfils is able to adjust to the clay.
Prediction – Kohlschreiber to take advantage of Monfils rust and get his second win over the Frenchman in 3.
