GAEL MONFILS VS THIAGO SEYBOTH WILD PREDICTION
Former world number six Gael Monfils has been handed the late match on Philippe-Chatrier as a hero in these parts but home advantage may not be enough on his weakest surface. The 37-year-old reached the semi-finals here back in 2008 but he has always looked far more comfortable on the hardcourts of New York and Melbourne, with a three-match losing streak on clay coming into Paris suggesting this will be an enjoyable but short stay.
World number 58 Thiago Seyboth Wild stunned Daniil Medvedev in five sets here last season and he returns in much better form one year on, with two impressive wins over Karen Khachanov and Taylor Fritz on the Sunshine Double suggesting he could reach the round of 16 for the first time on his favoured clay.
Monfils beat the Brazilian in straight sets in Lyon three years ago to offer some hope to home fans but Seyboth Wild has improved considerably since. Back the Brazilian to cause an upset.
