Djokovic and Monfils are one of the duels that guarantee the show in the second round of the Australian Open. Novak set himself in a minimum of sets in front of Young in the first round, at the end of a Serbian party where he had 79% on the first and 71% on the second, and created 25 breaks. On the other hand, Monfils sells after a 3-set victory at Jaume Munar, where only 32 games were played. And Monfils served well, with 76% success rate, but the second was slightly weaker, with only 48%. Gael has a fantastic start to life with 10 wins in the last 12 matches and a title in Qatar. The Frenchman is a fearsome opponent for any player in the circuit due to his impressive flexibility and the ability to produce winning strokes in almost any position on the pitch. I’m expecting the 39th ATP player to put Nole seriously, and the fight will be very controversial both physically and technically. Even though Djokovic will win in the end, I count on the Frenchman’s abilities and I think Monfils can steal the former multiple champion from Melbourne at least a set.
Tip: Gael Monfils +2.5 sets @ 1.70
