Gael Monfils is way past his prime, but given the odds, he is still considered a slight favourite against Marton Fucsovics.

Marton Fucsovics to win @ 2/1 (2.00)

Both Monfils and Fucsovics are among the most energetic players on the tour, and this match will definitely be fun to watch. Monfils had a couple of great wins in the second part of the season, and he is considered a legitimate competitor in Stockholm. Still, Fucsovics is playing excellent and runs much better than the Frenchman. Fucsovics will be the one to hit the extra shot every time he needs, and Monfils will not find a way to respond.

Over 22.5 games @ 17/20 (1.85)

Both Monfils and Fucsovics are great competitors even though the Frenchman put more fun into it. They have solid serves and are experienced enough to hold their service games. Monfils barely plays in two sets and this will probably go in the decisive set and over 22.5 games in total.
