THE PREDICTION

24-year0old Alex de Minaur set a career-high ATP world ranking of 12th this week after finishing runner-up to Jannik Sinner at the Canada Masters on Sunday, his first ATP 1000 final. The Aussie produced a stunning couple of upsets over Taylor Fritz and Daniil Medvedev to suggest he has what it takes to break the top 10 this season and he has reached back-to-back finals on tour after finishing second to Stefanos Tsitsipas in Los Cabos. Former world number six Gael Monfils also enjoyed a huge run in Toronto, also losing to Sinner in the quarter-finals after upsetting Tsitsipas at this stage, and he came back from a set down to stun Cam Norrie on Tuesday to maintain that level. The 36-year-old has been contemplating retirement since his comeback from injury this summer and that could be the drive behind this sudden insatiable form. Monfils beat De Minaur at this stage of the Cincinnati Open two years ago but back the much improved Aussie to edge through this time around.
