Alex Michelsen of the United States will battle ATP veteran Gael Monfils of France in the first round of the 2025 Boss Stuttgart Open.
Michelsen will try to put a disappointing French Open campaign behind him when he takes on Monfils in an intriguing first-round encounter. This will be Michelsen’s third foray into the grass-court season after going 8-4 on the surface in 2023 and 7-6 in 2024.
Monfils ended his forgettable clay-court season with a second-round loss to Jack Draper of Great Britain 6-3 4-6 6-3 7-5. The former French Open semifinalist went 3-3 in the clay-court season this year, failing to produce strong results in tournaments where he had traditionally performed well due to nagging injuries and aging. Monfils marches into the grass-court season, carrying a 58.2 percent win rate on the surface.

Our Alex Michelsen vs Gael Monfils Prediction
Why you should bet on Alex Michelsen to win (Win $100 on a $100 Bet): Michelsen has already won 15 grass-court matches on the main tour and played in the final of the Newport Open in 2023 and 2024. Monfils has the experience, of course, along with 46 career wins on grass. However, the Frenchman hasn’t played to the level he displayed during his run to the fourth round of the Australian Open earlier this year. Michelsen thrives on fast surfaces because of his big forehand and powerful serves. At Stuttgart, we should expect a much better version of Michelsen as he looks to make some serious noise in the tournaments leading up to the 2025 Wimbledon Open.
Our betting prediction for Alex Michelsen vs. Gael Monfils: Alex Michelsen will win
