LiontipsMonfils vs. Schwartzman. US Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Monfils won the UTS exhibition tournament ahead of the US Open. In the final of that competition, he beat Alexander Bublik. This season, the Frenchman has 11 wins and eight losses on open hard courts.
Professional qualities
Monfils loves to play to the crowd. Even at 37, the Frenchman still tries to amuse the audience a little with his unusual shots and actions on the court. Because of this approach, the Frenchman has few significant victories in his career, although at the start of his career he was predicted to win at least one Grand Slam tournament.
Current indicators in the tour
Monfils was once ranked 6th in the world, but is now ranked 45th. Gael has not won a single tournament this season, but has played in two semi-finals - on open hard court in Doha and on grass in Mallorca. The Frenchman currently has 12 ATP titles to his name in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Monfils has won seven of his last ten matches on outdoor hard courts.
Current form
Schwartzman made it to the main draw of the US Open through the qualifiers. In the qualifiers, Diego confidently dealt with Andrea Pellegrino, Thiago Tirante and Villius Gaubas in two sets. The Argentine has six wins and six losses on open hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Schwartzman ends his career. The Argentine was famous for his endurance on the tennis court and was equally good on clay and hard. Diego's main drawback is his height, which is 170 cm, which means that he does not have the strongest serve or the most powerful game.
Current indicators in the tour
Due to poor results this season, Schwartzman has dropped to 244th place in the world rankings, although he once held the 8th position. Diego has not been able to overcome the starting circle at any tournament this year. The Argentine has won five ATP titles in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Schwartzman last won in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament in May last year, at Roland Garros.
