Monfils and Rublev will meet in the second round of the Masters in Madrid on April 25.

Does it look like the start of the Masters in Madrid will be difficult for Andrey? - the bets for this match are in our betting tip

Command Analysis

Gael Monfils

Current form
Monfils beat Born Goyo 1-6, 6-2, 6-4 in the first round of the competition in Madrid. Gael made six aces, made three break points and lost three games on his serve. The Frenchman has two wins and one loss on clay this season.
Professional qualities
Monfils is one of the brightest and most memorable tennis players of our time. His style of play is known for outstanding defensive skills and the ability to demonstrate almost impossible shots. However, it is a mistake to consider him an exclusively defensive player. Gael knows how to switch to attack, surprising his opponents with his variety.
Current indicators in the tour
Monfils started this season by winning the tournament in Auckland. For Gael, it was the 13th ATP title of his career. The 38-year-old Frenchman is currently ranked 42nd in the world, although he was once sixth in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
Monfils has won 2 of the last 6 matches.

Andrey Rublev

Current form
Rublev scored two wins and two losses on clay courts this season. Last week, Andrey took part in competitions in Barcelona, where he beat Jesper De Jong in the first round, but then lost to Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina.
Professional qualities
Rublev is a typical attacking player who strives to control every play. His powerful first serve, aggressive forehand and stable two-handed backhand allow him to set the rhythm of the match. In conditions of closed courts, the Russian demonstrates confidence, which gives him the opportunity to exert strong pressure on his rivals. Andrey is also dangerous on clay, but so far this season he has not demonstrated anything on clay courts.
Current indicators in the tour
Rublev has already won one trophy this season - in mid-February, he won the competition in Doha. It was the 17th ATP title of his career for the 27-year-old Russian. Rublev is currently in eighth place in the world ranking.
