A couple of seasoned players are set to clash at the 2024 Mallorca Championships: Gael Monfils and Dominic Thiem.
Thiem plans to retire from tennis this year after struggling to regain his form following a wrist injury in Spain. Despite his efforts, he couldn’t reach his old level and decided to end his career.
Returning to Mallorca feels like coming full circle for Thiem, and facing Monfils in the first round might be a manageable challenge.
Monfils, though one of the oldest on Tour, still competes with joy and determination, always smiling through every point.
| Name | Age | Points | Stats 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| at Dominic Thiem | 31 | 483 | 2 - 4 |
Head-to-head:
These two have faced each other many times, with Thiem winning all six matches they’ve played. However, their last match was four years ago when Thiem was at his peak. This year has been different; Monfils has shown better form overall.
Fans might think that this match could be quite interesting given their history.
Monfils’ current performance is stronger than Thiem’s, who hasn’t been able to find his best game for a while now. The French player might also leverage his serve effectively in this matchup.
