Command Analysis
Alex de Minaur
AustraliaCurrent form
De Minaur won all of his matches in the group stage of the Ultimate Tennis Showdown, beating Alexander Bublik, Holger Rune and Jan-Lennard Struff by a point difference of +94.
Professional qualities
De Minaur has gained worldwide fame thanks to his phenomenal speed and reactions, for which he was nicknamed the Demon. His main weapon is a two-handed backhand, which helps him defend effectively and launch counterattacks. However, his forehand still lacks power and aggression, and his serve, despite noticeable progress, remains a weak point, especially in indoor tennis, where every ball is important.
Current indicators in the tour
De Minaur is ranked ninth in the world. The season has been quite good for the Australian tennis player, as he has won two trophies. Alex won the open hard court in Acapulco and the grass court in -Hertogenbosch this year.
Interesting facts for betting
Indoors this season, De Minaur lost the final in Rotterdam.
Gael Monfils
FranceCurrent form
Monfils finished second in his group at the Ultimate Tennis Showdown with a point difference of +12. Gael beat Andrey Rublev and Thanasi Kokkinakis but lost to Ugo Humbert, who topped his group.
Professional qualities
Monfils delights fans with his best game less and less each year, but his performances remain spectacular. The Frenchman stands out for his excellent athleticism and versatility: he is equally good in defense, on the reception, at the net and in attack. His calling card is his spectacular gliding, although the speed of his spurts is not the same. Experience and high game intelligence allow Gael to minimize physical costs in difficult rallies.
Current indicators in the tour
Monfils is currently ranked 55th in the world. Gael has not won a single trophy this year. His best result this season is the semi-finals at tournaments in Doha and Mallorca. Let us recall that the French tennis player was once ranked sixth in the world.

Monfils arrived in London in great shape and eager to show some great tennis. His win over Rublev in the first match was impressive. The Frenchman demonstrated a high level of play, especially on the baseline. De Minaur, despite his talent, has been experiencing some difficulties lately.
Gael, with his experience and ability to adapt to different conditions, is our favorite in this match. Especially since we shouldn't forget that Monfils leads 2-0 in his personal meetings with the Australian.
Our prediction is Monfils' victory with odds of 2.75
