Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Jan-Lennard Struff, a 34-year-old tennis player from Germany, will be facing Gael Monfils from France in their upcoming match. Monfils currently leads the head-to-head record 2-0. The first match took place at the 2014 Roland Garros tournament in France, where Monfils secured a victory with a scoreline of 7-6(4), 6-4, 6-1 on the clay courts. The second match occurred at the 2018 Doha tournament in Qatar, where Monfils prevailed again with a score of 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 on the hard courts.

Jan-Lennard Struff, currently ranked 42nd in the world, achieved his career-high ranking of No. 21 in June 2023. This milestone came after he reached the third ATP Tour final of his career at the 2023 Stuttgart tournament, although he ultimately lost to Tiafoe in that match. Struff also made headlines at the 2023 Madrid tournament when he initially lost in the qualifying rounds but entered the main draw as a lucky loser. He then secured remarkable victories over the likes of Tsitsipas and Karatsev to become the first lucky loser in ATP Masters 1000 series history to reach the final.

Throughout his career, Struff has achieved notable feats on home soil. He advanced to his first ATP Tour singles final at the 2021 Munich tournament. Additionally, he earned the biggest win of his career by defeating World No. 2 Medvedev in the first round of the 2021 Halle tournament, and he became the third oldest player to win his first ATP Tour title at the 2024 Munich tournament. Struff has also had exceptional runs in Masters 1000 events, defeating Goffin at the 2020 Cincinnati tournament and Ruud at the 2023 Monte Carlo tournament to reach the quarterfinals in both cases. He posted his personal-best of 35 victories in 2019, which included his first Grand Slam fourth-round appearance at Roland Garros. Furthermore, Struff made history at Wimbledon in 2018 as the first player in the Open Era to rally from two sets down in consecutive matches against L. Mayer and Karlovic.

On the other side of the court, Gael Monfils, a 38-year-old French player, is currently ranked 52nd in the world. He achieved his career-high ranking of No. 6 in 2016. In 2021, he tied the knot with former WTA No. 3 Elina Svitolina. Monfils has won a total of 12 ATP Tour titles, including ATP 500 tournaments in Washington (2016), Rotterdam (2019), and Rotterdam (2020). He has reached at least one final in 19 consecutive seasons, spanning from 2005 to 2023. This impressive record includes his appearances in ATP Masters 1000 finals at Paris in 2009 and 2010, as well as Monte Carlo in 2016. Monfils has garnered 567 career victories, notably defeating World No. 1 players such as Nadal at the 2009 Doha tournament and Medvedev at the 2022 Indian Wells tournament. In 2020, he achieved his career-long win streaks with 12 consecutive victories and 25 consecutive sets won. Monfils’ junior success translated into his professional career, as he reached the semifinals of Grand Slam tournaments at Roland Garros in 2008 and the US Open in 2016, after clinching junior titles at the Australian Open, Roland Garros, and Wimbledon in 2004.

In the first round of the current tournament, Monfils made a remarkable comeback after being down 1-6, 2-5 against Martinez. He aims to continue his performance and reach the quarterfinals in Auckland, which would mark his 22nd consecutive season of reaching an ATP Tour quarterfinal since 2004. His last quarterfinal appearance took place at the Mallorca tournament in June. If he manages to achieve this, Monfils would become the second-oldest men’s quarterfinalist in Auckland in the Open Era, trailing behind Richard Pancho Gonzales, who was 40 years old when he reached the quarterfinals in 1969.
