Number one seed Gael Monfils kicks off his Open Sud de France title quest against fellow Frenchman Adrien Mannarino on an eventful day 4
Day 4 at Montpellier will kick off with an intriguing matchup between Mikael Ymer and Filip Krajinovic. The Serbian has had a resurgence of late after a solid showing in Australia. The up and coming Swede seems determined to make 2020 his breakout year and his on a good course so far. It will be a fascinating watch for the Montpellier crowd.
After them, we will see 2nd seed
David Goffin on the courts. He had a good showing in Australia and will look to build upon that and add another trophy to his tally. His opponent Bublik is a tricky player on hard indoor courts so he will have to bring his A-game.
After that, it will be a true throwback game between two veterans. Feliciano Lopez vs Richard Gasquet will play in front of a full home crowd taking everybody a decade back when they were one of the elites. A good match is anticipated.
We will also have a good matchup between two players with two surnames. It's going to be Felix Auger-Aliassime versus Pierre Hugues-Herbert in a match where serve will prove key. Both players have a good service and it will matter a lot in a match which could go the full distance.
The program will also feature and match between Ruusuvuori and Gombos who found themselves in the 2nd round unexpectedly but they deserved it. Both played good and earner their place here.
The program will be closed out by another French duel.
Gael Monfils is set to play against Adrien Mannarino and the stands should be packed for this one. Can Monfils go the full distance and win a title or will he once again forfeit a good chance at a trophy?
