Alexander Shevchenko of Kazakhstan will square off with ATP veteran Gael Monfils in the first round of the 2025 Chengdu Open.
Shevchenko is booked as a +140 underdog against Monfils, who has lost his last four matches and seven of his last eight.
Current Form:
Shevchenko won his Davis Cup rubber with former Australian Open semifinalist Chung Hyeon of South Korea 6-4, 6-3, giving him the momentum ahead of the Asian swing of the ATP Tour. The win also serves as a morale booster for Shevchenko, who crashed out in the first round of the 2025 US Open after absorbing a devastating loss to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 1-6, 1-6, 2-6 in the first round of the 2025 US Open championships. Shevchenko is 8-10 on the hard court and 28-29 overall in 2025.
Monfils hasn’t tasted a win since beating compatriot Ugo Humbert 6-4 3-6 6-7(5) 7-5 6-2 in the first round of the 2025 Wimbledon Open. The Frenchman has lost his last three first-round matches at the Washington DC Citi Open, Canadian Open, and the US Open. Despite his current losing woes, the 39-year-old Monfils still sports a decent 14-8 record on the hard court and 18-14 overall this season.

Our Alexander Shevchenko vs Gael Monfils Prediction
Coming off a confidence-boosting win, Alexander Shevchenko should take care of his business in his match against a reeling Gael Monfils. Shevchenko might not have an impressive record this year (28-29, 8-10 on the hard court), but he’s in much better shape than Monfils, who has lost his last four assignments and seven of his last eight.
Consider the fact that Shevchenko defeated Monfils before in a hard-court tournament in the first round of the 2023 Phoenix Challenger 6-4 6-7(2) 6-3, the Kazakh has no reason to blow this opportunity against an ageing Monfils.
