Monfils - Popyrin. ATP Cincinnati match betting tip

Current form

The 37-year-old Frenchman finds it difficult to demonstrate a bright and stable game. The years are taking their toll, so there are too many ups and downs in the Frenchman's actions. In Montreal, he was unable to perform successfully, because in the first match he lost to Thanasi Kokkinakis in two sets. This was Gael's third defeat in a row. Before that, he lost to Lorenzo Musetti at the Olympics, and to Grigor Dimitrov at Wimbledon.
