He would like to return to his winning ways with a slightly easier matchup against Monfils.

Monfils would love to upset the world number 1 and get a win and move on with his campaign.

Monfils is also returning from an injury and faces a tough match against Djokovic, an opponent he has never defeated in his ATP matches. But, he has also shown great form to win the opening round 6-3, 6-0 against Carlos Gimeno Valero, and with Novak still not being his best self, this is the time for Monfils to strike.
