THE PREDICTION
This should be a much closer encounter than many expect as qualifier Ernests Gulbis has reached the third round at Melbourne for the first time on merit and Gael Monfils has not been at his best for a while now. A result based on anything other than their rankings would be guesswork and this looks like the kind of match that Monfils is shocked in. Both players should take a set, and the favourite is Monfils, but Gulbis has already taken down the 20th seed and could cause an upset again here.
