Opportunities abound once again for the next generation of tennis stars with the ‘Big Two’ missing ATP Montreal this year. Before I get attacked by the Roger Federer fans, he can have his place back when he returns to a tennis court. Until then, we have a ‘Big Two’. As always, we here at LWOT will be offering our predictions for every match on the schedule, including Daniil Medvedev vs Nick Kyrgios<\/a>, Casper Ruud vs Alex Molcan<\/a> and Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Yoshihito Nishioka<\/a>. But who will advance?<\/p>\n

ATP Montreal Day 3 Predictions<\/h2>\n

Gael Monfils vs Maxime Cressy<\/h4>\n

Head-to-head: First meeting<\/h5>\n

This is a tough one to call. Maxime Cressy is in superb form and having an amazing year. He recently won a title in Newport and is one of the standouts of 2022. However, his hard court success hasn’t been quite as prolific as his grass court play. Equally important in hedging your bets on the American here is the man across the net from him. Gael Monfils<\/a> played for the first time since may in his first round victory. For most, a lack of form and matches is an issue. However, the Frenchman is the kind of player who can turn it on at anytime. If he is fit and his game is firing he can beat almost anyone. It’s been a while since we had a Monfils spectacle and this has the makings of one. I’m backing the Frenchman to put on a show here.<\/p>\n
