Match summary
Hugo Gaston meets Gael Monfils in the Round of 128 at Roland Garros on May 25 on outdoor clay. Gaston, ranked 120th, arrives off a four-match losing streak and has won only one of his last five. Monfils, ranked 221st, has not played in a month but won two of his last five matches.
The two have never faced each other. Both have struggled on clay in the broader sample: Gaston is 7-13 on the surface at 35%, while Monfils stands at 8-12 for 40%. Against recent common opponents, Monfils defeated Dzumhur and Basavareddy where Gaston lost to both.
Gaston's game relies on retrieval and opportunism, turning defensive positions into winners through angles and feel. Monfils built his career on serving power and athleticism, using speed and serve placement to dictate points. On clay, Gaston's counterattacking style demands quick recovery and court sense, while Monfils will need his serve to function well enough to shorten rallies and avoid extended baseline exchanges where clay slows the pace.
