Match preview:

Gael Monfils and Gilles Simon meet in the third round of Wimbledon in a battle of two of France’s best tennis players. Join The Roar for live scores from around 2.00am (AEST) following the completion of James Ward and Vasek Pospisil.

Monfils needs to improve on his mental and tactical aspects of the game. Monfils must get out of his comfort zone and come up with shots that are risky but may make the difference if they go his way. Gael must take the game to the net as much as possible and take advantage of passing shots.

Simon has had a great year so far despite his early exits in the third and fourth round at the Australian Open and Roland Garros respectively. The Frenchman could be building towards his biggest Wimbledon yet.

Simon’s best result at The Championships is the fourth round, which he achieved in 2009. With the draw on his side, surpassing this feat is well within the realm of possibility in 2015.

Monfils and Simon have met six times, Simon has taken out five of those with Monfils winning just one. Their most recent matchup was at Marseille, 2015 where Simon won the tournament defeating Monfils in three sets 6-5, 1-6, 7-6.

18th seed Monfils has a win-loss record in his past ten matches of 7-3 and is coming off a win in straight sets over Adrian Mannarino 7-6, 6-3, 7-5.

Simon is seeded 12th, has a win-loss record of 7-3 and is coming off a win in four sets over Slovene Blaz Kavcic 6-1, 6-1, 6-7, 6-1.

Prediction
Simon will just edge out his fellow Frenchman.

Simon in four sets
