Gael Monfils is still going strong at 39, and at the Chengdu Open, he’ll be up against Alexander Shevchenko. The two clash in the opening round, with the winner taking on Filip Misolic or Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. We have a prediction below as the two meet for their second career match.
Shevchenko hasn’t had a great season, only managing to win the Sumter Challenger. A quarter-finalist in Kitzbuhel, he’s had some rest following his first-round exit at the US Open.
The Kazakhstani comes into this game having compiled a 28-29 record and with particular struggles on hard courts. The world number 96 comes into this game 99th in the live rank.
Monfils returns to this even after a seven-year hiatus. Back in 2018, he couldn’t make it past the opening round following defeat against Lloyd Harris. Age has caught up with the Frenchman, but he’ll rightly feel he has what it takes to still challenge.
A 13-time tour champion, Monfils won his latest in Auckland this year and also had fourth-round showings at the Australian Open and Miami. Two years after falling to Shevchenko in their only meeting so far, Monfils has the chance to earn his revenge for that defeat in Phoenix.
His last outing was an intense five-set defeat to Roman Safiullin at the US Open. That eighth defeat in 10 matches left Monfils 52nd in the live ranking.
