Gael Monfils is set to open his French Open campaign on Monday with a first round match against Bjorn PhauYou can watch and bet on live streaming tennis at bet365World No. 9 Gael Monfils will be seeking success in this year’s French Open in front of a supportive home crowd. The popular Frenchman has only played 13 Tour level matches so far this season, but shouldn’t be overlooked as he aims to make a big impression over the next two weeks. If he can get a few solid victories under his belt, he might just be able to challenge some of the main contenders in the latter stages.
His opponent in round one will be Bjorn Phau of Germany. Phau will be eager to earn as many ranking points as possible here in France, though the odds are stacked against him. The world No. 145 has only won 2 of his 8 Tour level matches this year, and very few people are expecting the 31 year-old to derail Monfils on Monday.
Whilst both players have a wealth of ATP World Tour experience to draw upon, this will be the first competitive meeting between Monfils and Phau. This lack of head to head history shouldn’t make pre-match predictions any more difficult though. It looks like Monfils will be able to book his place in round two if he plays to his usual standard.
