Australian Open: Matteo Berrettini vs. Gael Monfils 1/25/22 Tennis Prediction


Matteo Berrettini (7) of Italy will take on Frenchman Gael Monfils (17) in the Quarter-Finals of the 2022 Australian Open. The match is scheduled to be played on Tuesday January 25th, 2022 at 9:00am EST.

A treat is in store for the fans as Matteo Berrettini plays Gael Monfils for a spot in the Semi-Finals at the 2022 Australian Open. Both men are big crowd favorites and two of the most popular players on the Tour. They are in fine form at the moment and each have a chance to advance, who will get the win and move on to the Semis?

Matteo Berrettini is ranked #8 in the world and is seeded number seven at the Australian Open. The Italian had a breakthrough year last year, reaching his first ever Grand Slam Final at Wimbledon. Given the withdrawal of Novak Djokovic, he is one of the main contenders for the title here, as the fast hard courts suit his game perfectly. After some shaky moments in his early round matches against Carlos Alcaraz and Stefan Kozlov, he smashed Pablo Carreno Busta in the Round of 16 to set up this mouth watering clash with the veteran Gael Monfils.

Gael Monfils the seventh seed here at the Australian Open and has been in career-best form over the past few weeks, something that is noteworthy given the incredible career that he has had. The Frenchman won the title in Adelaide just before the start of this event, and has cruised through this tournament, not dropping a set en route to the Quarter-Finals. He is one of the most dynamic players on Tour, and when he is playing well he is capable of beating the world’s best, despite his advancing age. Monfils is the slight underdog here, but it would not be a shock to see him get the win.

There is one thing that is guaranteed, and that is that this match will be hugely entertaining and exciting. Both men are entertainers, and there will be a lot of high-quality tennis and flashy shot-making. Berrettini is the obvious favorite given their forms over the past few years, but Monfils has been resurgent recently, and will be a huge force here. I am expecting a huge battle, and I am backing youth here, and going with Matteo Berrettini. He has just a little bit more firepower, and Monfils has played a lot of tennis over the past couple weeks. Even though he has been winning easily, there must still be a bit of fatigue creeping up. It will be a fantastic battle, with Matteo Berrettini moving on to the Semi-Finals of the Australian Open for the first time.
