Potential Payout: $236 on a $100 Bet (+136 on Caesars Sportsbook)
Current Form:
Gael Monfils is set to resume his final campaign on the ATP Tour following a first-round exit at the 2026 Australian Open. Monfils, who announced that he would retire at the end of this season, lost to Dane Sweeny 7-6, 5-7, 4-6, 5-7 in Melbourne. The French veteran has saved 70 percent of breakpoints but has only converted 26.7 of break chances in two games so far in 2026.
Trying to spoil Monfils’ farewell tour in Acapulco is fellow veteran Damir Dzumhur. The 33-year-old Dzumhur has only two wins in seven matches this season, with his latest victory coming against Pedro Martinez Portero of Spain 0-6, 7-6, 6-4 in the first round of the 2026 Rio De Janeiro Open.Limited Offer.

Our Damir Dzumhur vs Gael Monfils Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Damir Dzumhur nips Gael Monfils 6-4, 4-6, 6-3
What a massive change a year can make for a player’s overall performance. In the same time last year, Monfils was fresh off a fourth-round finish at the 2025 Australian Open and had won a title in Auckland. 365 days later, Monfils is going through a myriad of fitness issues as he draws closer to his final act on the tour. Although he still manages to exhibit a glimpse of his past flamboyance, Monfils’ form in his first two matches of 2026 has only backed the inconvenient truth that father time is undefeated.
Expect Monfils to come out like a house of fire in the opening set before crumbling again late in the match. Dzumhur isn’t in tip-top form, but at least he has two wins under his belt this year.
Our betting prediction for Damir Dzumhur vs. Gael Monfils: Damir Dzumhur will win.
