Late on Wednesday evening, providing there are no delays, Learner Tien and Gael Monfils will battle it out for the first ever time as pros. This is match between two players at different ends of their careers. Tien remains an improving player, while Monfils is now very much a veteran, but let's not rush to assume that the exuberance of youth will easily beat experience.
Looking at the early lines, Learner Tien is getting too much support. Sure, he's the younger and higher-ranked player, but he didn't exactly impress when returning to the hard-court game in Washington last week, losing in straight sets. He's also playing his first match of the tournament here, while Gael Monfils played during the first round and may be more prepared as a result. Betting on the ultra-experienced French campaigner to, at the very least, avoid a straight-set defeat is the way to at odds of -125.

Our Learner Tien vs Gael Monfils Prediction
As we can see from the facts above, Learner Tien is far from a frequent straight-set winner when it comes to the hard-court game, and given that he didn't exactly get back down to business on this surface in hot form last time out, he appears to be getting stronger market support than he really deserves.
After all, the hugely experienced Gael Monfils, who recently became the second oldest player to win a match at this tournament, knows how to tussle against higher-ranked players, so much so that he's generously priced to ensure that his opponent does not win this in two sets.
