THE PREDICTION

This will be a fascinating clash between in-form world number 24 Adrian Mannarino, the highest seed remaining in the Stockholm draw, and current world number 140 Gael Monfils whom we know to be a player of top 10 quality on his day. 37-year-old Monfils has thoroughly impressed since his return form injury earlier this summer, reaching the quarter-finals and round of 16 at the Canada and Cincinnati Masters before losing to eventual champions Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic, respectively, and he looks competitive this week after a straight-sets victory over Filip Misolic on Thursday. 35-year-old Mannarino is a deceptively tricky customer on court, possessing a unique playstyle borne of necessity after a serious injury, and his victory over in-form Roman Safiullin on Thursday is further proof that power is not everything. Monfils leads his compatriot 4-2 in their head-to-head but four of their six meetings have seen sets go both ways. Former number six Monfils has won each of their last three, though, to suggest taking the elder Frenchman to earn at least a set is the sensible way to leave the result up to chance.
