The former World No. 6 will face Kazakh youngster Alexander Shevchenko in the 2025 Chengdu Open Round of 32 on Thursday. It will be their first career encounter, and the winner will face either Mpetshi Perricard or Misolic in the pre-quarterfinal stage.

Despite enjoying a title charge in just his second tournament of the season, the Frenchman has a rather average record of 18-14 this year. Nonetheless, the 39-year-old has put together an outstanding career, and anything here on forward is a commendable bonus. Monfils&rsquo; other best performances include Round of 16 appearances at the Australian Open and in Miami.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Monfils&rsquo; reaction after beating Humbert at Wimbledon<br><br>Huge smile from Gael<br><br>Huge smile from his wife Elina Svitolina<br><br>Even a huge smile from his opponent, who walks over the net to hug him<br><br>Every time this man plays, it&rsquo;s a celebration &#129401;<br><br>Legendary &#127467;&#127479;&#10084;&#65039;<br><br> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nyOWVPdavK\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/nyOWVPdavK<\/a><\/p>&mdash; The Tennis Letter (@TheTennisLetter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheTennisLetter\/status\/1940143773767397543?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 1, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Alexander Shevchenko is currently ranked No. 96 in the world, and is searching for his first career title.

While Shevchenko has the ability to fight it out and work until the last point, the French veteran has the experience to give him a narrow edge. One of the main variables will be the serve &ndash; the player who can remain strong on their service games will taste success.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport. And if you\u2019re a fan of Roger Federer, Lionel Messi and\/or Stephen Curry - I\u2019m your guy. \u00a0","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sankalphk","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sankalp-hk-660254215"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/sankalp\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630619"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=630619"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630619\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":630625,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630619\/revisions\/630625"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/630623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=630619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=630619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=630619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
