Dusan Lajovic v Gael Monfils Head to Head
The pair have played each other once before, on the clay of Buenos Aires three years ago, Monfils winning in straight sets.

Lajovic Replaces Wawrinka
Lajovic was not originally included in the main draw entrants for Cincinnati, bit was given his chance following the withdrawal of Stan Wawrinka from the tournament.
He has a poor record in this tournament – in four previous attempts he has never been beyond the first round.
Better known as a clay court player – he won his solitary senior ATP title at Umag, Croatia in 2018 – like his opponent on Monday, Lajovic reached the third round in Toronto last week, before losing in straight sets to the Norwegian, Casper Ruud.
That was his best result away from clay since his run to the fourth-round of the Australian Open in February.

Can Monfils Find Some Overdue Form?
Monfils is in the middle of a long and sustained poor run of form, and his recent marriage to Elina Svitolina has made little differences to his results on the court, although last week in Toronto he did have the satisfaction of reaching the third round, losing eventually to John Isner.
It is a mark of what a disappointing year he has been having that that was his best performance at any tournament in 2021. He had never previously been further than the second round in any event.
His best result in Cincinnati was a decade ago, when he got to the quarter-final stage.
Lajovic v Monfils Prediction and Tip
Neither man has been in the best of form recently, but third round appearances in Toronto suggest better times might be in store for the pair of them. However, because Monfils won their previous encounter on Lajovic’s favourite surface of clay, he is tipped to just edge this match.
Tip: Three sets in the match: 6/4 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
