The final match of the day will be between two struggling players in Milos Raonic and Jo-Wilfred Tsonga. The Frenchman from being ranked 5th in 2012 has slid outside the top 100. His game has really declined, with him beating Federer in Wimbledon being just faded memories of old. His opponents struggle though, have been in recent times. Raonic has suffered quite a few upsets, but just in the past few months.

A few years ago most of us expected Tsonga to be the competition to the elite players, but that hope has fizzled out since. However, with the trend of players in their 30s doing well all is not yet lost for him.

The match against Raonic is crucial for Jo-Wilfred Tsonga's comeback hopes. The Canadian has got the better of him in their last 3 encounters. But with the last meeting coming in 2016 and with Milos' vulnerability to upsets recently Tsonga has a fair chance.

Prediction - Jo-Wilfred Tsonga to win in 3 sets
