Monfils will come into the tie with a career hardcourt record of 162-75 and was 8-7 on the surface last season while having a record of 8-2 across all surfaces. Ymer will take the court with a career hardcourt record of 46-26 and was 9-5 on the surface last season and has a 2-2 record for the season across all surfaces.

Looking at these numbers and considering their form in the 2021 and the little of the 2022 season, it looks like it will be another routine victory for Monfils who has been absolutely amazing this season.

Prediction: Gael Monfils to win in straight-sets.
