Monfils vs. Kokkinakis. Prediction and bets on the Ultimate Tennis Showdown match

Current form

Monfils faced Andrey Rublev in his opening match at the Ultimate Tennis Showdown and managed to defeat him with a score of 19-15, 13-9, 17-9. For Gael, this was his third indoor victory this season, with two losses.

Professional qualities

Monfils is less and less often delighting the public with his best tennis, but each of his games remains spectacular thanks to his skill and experience. The Frenchman maintains his place among the elite thanks to his outstanding athleticism and harmonious game: from serve to return, from defense on the baseline to bright attacks with exits to the net. Gael glides are still impressive, although the speed of his spurts is no longer the same. The key advantages of the Frenchman remain his vast experience and high game intelligence, which allow him to compensate for age limitations. However, his serve, which has never been his strong point, is increasingly letting him down.

Current indicators in the tour

Monfils showed his best game this season at tournaments in Doha and Mallorca, where he reached the semi-finals. Gael, let us recall, is currently in 55th place in the world rankings, although he was once sixth.

Professional qualities
