Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

The upcoming match between Gael Monfils from France and Sebastian Korda from the USA will be their first meeting. Monfils, who is currently 38 years old and ranked 42 in the world, reached a career-high ranking of No. 6 in 2016. In 2021, he got married to Elina Svitolina, who was a former WTA No. 3.

Monfils has won a total of 13 ATP Tour titles, including ATP 500 events in Washington in 2016, Rotterdam in 2019, and Rotterdam again in 2020. At the age of 38 years and 4 months, he became the oldest champion in ATP Tour history since 1990 when he won the Auckland title in 2025. He also became the oldest tour-level titlist since Rosewall at the 1977 Hong Kong tournament.

Throughout his career, Monfils has reached at least one final in 19 consecutive seasons from 2005 to 2023. This includes reaching ATP Masters 1000 finals in Paris in 2009 and 2010, as well as Monte-Carlo in 2016. He has earned 575 career victories, with notable wins against No. 1 ranked players such as Nadal in 2009 Doha and Medvedev in 2022 Indian Wells. He also holds the record for the longest win streak of 12 matches and 25 sets in 2020.

As a junior player, Monfils won titles at the Australian Open, Roland Garros, and Wimbledon in 2004. He went on to reach the semi-finals at Roland Garros in 2008 and the US Open in 2016. Monfils is one of the five active male players to have earned 20+ main draw wins at the event and reach the Indian Wells third round for the tenth time in 16 appearances. If he reaches the third round at the age of 38 years and 6 months, he would be the third oldest man to achieve this in ATP Masters 1000 series history.

The oldest players to reach the third round of ATP Masters 1000 tournaments since 1990 are Ivo Karlovic at 40 years old in the 2019 Indian Wells, Jimmy Connors at 39 years old in the 1992 Miami, Ivo Karlovic again at 38 years old in the 2017 Cincinnati, Stan Wawrinka at 38 years old in the 2023 Cincinnati, and Roger Federer at 38 years old in the 2019 Shanghai.

Sebastian Korda, who is currently 24 years old and ranked 25 in the world, reached a career-high ranking of No. 15 in August 2024. He and his father, Petr Korda, who reached No. 2 on the ATP Tour, became the only father-son duo to rank inside the Top 20 in PIF ATP Rankings history.

Korda has achieved notable wins in his career, defeating No. 3 Medvedev at the 2023 Shanghai and No. 4 Zverev at the 2024 Montreal to reach the ATP Masters 1000 semi-finals. He won the 2021 Parma title without dropping a set and later won the 2024 Washington title, 32 years after his father won the same event in 1992. Korda also reached the fourth round at the 2020 Roland Garros and 2021 Wimbledon, becoming the third men’s player in the Open Era to do so in their debut at both events. His father, Petr, reached the final of the tournament in 1994, losing to No. 1 Sampras in five sets.

Sebastian Korda’s family has a strong athletic background. His mother, Regina, peaked at No. 26 in the WTA rankings, while his sister Nelly became the World No. 1 women’s golfer in 2021, and his other sister, Jessica, achieved a career-high ranking of No. 8 in women’s golf.

For Korda, this match provides an opportunity to secure his first win since the Australian Open in January and his first win against a Top 50 player since defeating No. 4 Zverev last August in ATP Masters 1000 Montreal. His father, Petr, reached the final of the tournament in 1994, where he lost to No. 1 Sampras in five sets.

The match between Gael Monfils and Sebastian Korda will take place on Stadium 2.
