One of the many matches taking place at the Men's US Open on Tuesday evening sees Gael Monfils take on Roman Safiullin. This is very much a match between two players looking to improve their fortunes. For Monfils, this could be a first win in four matches, with the French player going out at the first time of asking in both Washington and Toronto recently, though let's face it, the veteran knows how to shift through the gears when it comes to the Grand Slams, while it would be fair to say that he very rarely exits the majors at the first-round stage.
Conversely, Safiullin frequently fails to deliver the goods at Grand Slams and is a regular early leaver. The Russian comes into the action in Flushing Meadows having lost each of his last two matches without putting up much of a fight, which doesn't bode well ahead of a contest against a player that always fights hard at the slams.

Our Gael Monfils vs Roman Safiullin Prediction
Gael Monfils doesn't exactly enter the US Open in flying form, but the Frenchman certainly knows how to raise his game on the big occasion, while he has the luxury of facing an out-of-sorts Romamn Safiullin, so I'd absolutely argue that the veteran is a little generously priced to get the victory here. After all, Monfils has only exited the US Open at the first-round stage in of his last 15 appearances at the hard-court Grand Slam. Our Gael Monfils vs Roman Safiullin Pick: Gael Monfils to Win.
