Gael Monfils & Naomi Osaka vs Lorenzo Musetti & Caty McNally prediction
Gael Monfils playing alongside Naomi Osaka is certainly an eye-catching pairing, but the reality is that neither of them have played much doubles since the early stages of their respective careers.
Be that as it may, they will bring plenty of talent to the court, and Osaka especially has impressed in her singles endeavours lately, reaching the final of the recent Canadian Open.
Far more versed in this category, Lorenzo Musetti and Caty McNally are adept doubles players. Musetti lost in the final the men’s doubles Cincinnati Open alongside fellow Italian Lorenzo Sonego on Sunday just gone, while McNally is a two-time finalist at the US Open in the women’s doubles, and has previously made the last four in the mixed event.
Expect flashes of brilliance from Monfils and Osaka, but Musetti and McNally’s experience in this format should win out.
