Taylor Fritz vs Gael Monfils Prediction & Picks - ATP Australian Open
by Lou Aguila | in ATP Australian Open Picks
Fritz of the United States eyes his seventh straight win and a place in the round of 16 against Gael Monfils of France on Friday at the 2025 Australian Open. Fritz captured his sixth consecutive victory on Wednesday after demolishing Cristian Garin of Chile 6-2 6-1 6-0. Fritz continues to live up to his billing as the top American men’s singles in Melbourne, producing dominant win after another in the first Grand Slam of the year. In the win over Garin, the 2024 US Open runner-up outclassed his opponent by collecting 32 points on his first serves and converting 78 percent of breakpoints chances (7 of 9). Monfils is enjoying career revival over the past three weeks, winning his first ATP title in almost two years at the 2025 ASB Classic in Auckland and reaching the round of 32 at the Australian Open. The French veteran marched into the third round with a clinical 7-5 6-3 7-6(3) win over Daniel Altmaier, which gave him his seventh consecutive victory.

Our Taylor Fritz vs Gael Monfils Prediction
I have a gut feeling Monfils will shock the world on Friday by giving Fritz a run for his money in their third-round clash. The Frenchman has been playing exceptionally well over the past three weeks, and I am beginning to think he might have had a few sips from the fountain of youth before embarking on a new campaign in the Land Down Under. Taylor has been dominant in the first two rounds, but he must quickly realize that he will play a highly-motivated Monfils. Fritz would have to deliver a better showing than he did in the previous rounds to top Monfils, who boasts a 64.6% win rate on hard courts and 15 wins over top players in his career. Our betting prediction for Gael Monfils vs. Taylor Fritz: Monfils will cover +5.5 games.
