Gael Monfils, meanwhile, has chalked up 17 wins from 31 matches, including semifinal appearances at the Qatar Open and the Mallorca Tennis Championships. Despite winning the first set against Alejandro Tabilo, he fell to the Chilean in a close encounter, 6-2, 2-6, 6-7(3) in Mallorca.
The Frenchman started his campaign in London with an emphatic win against Adrian Mannarino. He outfoxed the 22nd seed in four sets, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, 6-4. Monfils will be keen to make a significant impact at the Wimbledon Championships.

Stan Wawrinka vs Gael Monfils prediction
Two veterans will battle it out for a place in the third round of the Wimbledon championships on Wednesday. While Wawrinka cruised past his opponent in the first round, Monfils held his nerve to get the job done in four sets.
The Swiss fired 11 aces and won 74% of his first serve points against Broom. He also won a healthy percentage of points at the net, showcasing his ability to keep the points short on the front foot.
Monfils, on the contrary, also served well, winning 76% of his first serve points. He also converted 5 of 12 break points against Mannarino in the first round. Against a player like Wawrinka, he will need to bring his A-game and convert half chances at regular intervals.
Considering their record on grass and recent results at Wimbledon, there's isn't a lot that separates the two. Monfils' match fitness and ability to find a winner in tough situations should help him secure a third round berth in London.
Pick: Monfils to win in four sets.
