LiontipsGael Monfils v John Millman. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Toronto (August 11, 2021).
Command Analysis
Monfils has been having a poor year. He got only three victories against ten defeats, but the Frenchman is trying hard to return to his former level. This task has proved difficult. In previous years, Monfils showed good results in Toronto. For instance, in 2016 he reached the semifinals of the tournament. However, we do not expect him to get that far this time: Monfils just doesn't look ready for this level of competition at the moment.
Millman is doing much better than his opponent. He clearly set high goals for the series of tournaments on hard courts. At the recent Citi Open, the Australian showed good tennis and reached the quarterfinals. On his way there, Millman defeated Elias Ymer (6-2, 7-6) and Reilly Opelka (6-3, 7-6). In the quarterfinal match, Millman lost to Jenson Brooksby (1-6, 2-6). In Toronto, John started with a convincing victory over Ricardas Berankis (6-3, 7-6).
