LiontipsDjokovic vs Monfils. ATP Brisbane Match Prediction and Betting Tips
Command Analysis
Current form
In the first round of the tournament in Brisbane, Djokovic was stronger than Rinki Hijikata, whom he beat in two sets (6-3, 6-3). In the confrontation with the representative of Australia, Novak performed 12 aces, realized three break points and did not lose a single game on his serve.
Professional qualities
Djokovic has never been a player who relies solely on his serve, but his first serve is highly accurate and effective. The Serbian tennis player is a master at sending the ball exactly where he wants it, which is his strong point. Novak prefers to load his opponents with shots under the baseline, especially if he notices them trying to get closer to the net.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season, Djokovic secured a long-awaited victory for himself - he won the Olympics. In addition, Novak played in two more finals last year - in Shanghai and Wimbledon. The Serb is currently seventh in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Djokovic has 20 consecutive wins over Monfils.
Current form
In the first round of the competition in Brisbane, Monfils beat Nishesh Basavareddy (6-4, 4-6, 6-1). Gael served 15 aces during the match, converted five break points and lost three games on his serve.
Professional qualities
Monfils spends most of his matches on the baseline, where he patiently keeps the ball in play, waiting for his opponent to make a mistake. The Frenchman is capable of making quick attacks with a variety of shots, including slices down the line, volleys and powerful drives to the net with smashes. Quick footwork is one of Gael main assets, as are his powerful forehand and backhand shots. However, inconsistency, poor physical condition, especially in long matches, and a tendency to injury remain his vulnerabilities.
Current indicators in the tour
Monfils' best result last year was a semi-final in Doha. The Frenchman is currently ranked 55th in the world, although he was once ranked sixth in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
In his last ten head-to-head matches against Djokovic, Monfils has managed to win only three sets.
