It is the young Casper Ruud who is against an experienced Monfils. He has only straight-set victories so far in the tournament and is fresh off a win against a Frenchman, Arthur Fils. 

On the other side is another Frenchman, Gael Monfils, who has been in sublime form recently. He is recently off two huge wins against Hubert Hurkacz and Cameron Norrie, respectively. 

This is turning out to be a great year for the 37-year-old, who doesn’t have much time left on the court. But in this kind of form, Monfils seems everlasting.

The matchup between the two is turning out to be another exciting clash. Both players are looking for wins, and this run would surely boost their confidence by heading into the clay courts. They only faced one encounter before this encounter, with Monfils emerging victorious.

It has been four years since they last met when Ruud was in his teens. Then Monfils took a tough win over the Norwegian. Despite being young, Ruud put up a fight and lost in the last set. The score was 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, with Monfils emerging victorious. 

After six years, the two face up for one more time. It was a whole different matchup this time around, with the players having gotten older. There is no predictable winner for this match with the kind of form Monfils is in. However, he does have an upper hand in terms of public predictions, as they expect the Frenchman to emerge victorious in three sets. 

Prediction: Gael Monfils in three sets
