Three To See: Can Gael Monfils And Danielle Collins Keep Up The Australian Open Fireworks?

The Australian Open has served up a thrilling first week, with plenty of upsets and surprises. But as we head into the second week, there are a few players who look particularly well-placed to keep the fireworks going. Gael Monfils and Danielle Collins are two of those players. Both have been in excellent form so far this tournament, and they will be hoping to continue their good run when they take to the court in the fourth round.

Gael Monfils

Monfils has always been one of the most exciting players to watch on the ATP Tour. He is known for his athleticism, his powerful groundstrokes, and his flamboyant style of play. He has never won a Grand Slam title, but he has reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open twice before, in 2016 and 2019.

Monfils has been in excellent form so far this tournament. He has won all three of his matches in straight sets, and he has not dropped a single set. He has looked particularly impressive on his serve, and he has also been hitting his groundstrokes with great power and accuracy.

Monfils' next match will be against the 10th seed, Jannik Sinner. Sinner is a rising star on the ATP Tour, and he is one of the favorites to win the Australian Open this year. However, Monfils will be confident of causing an upset. He knows that he can beat anyone on his day, and he will be hoping to produce another inspired performance in the fourth round.

Danielle Collins

Collins is another player who has been in excellent form so far this tournament. She has won all three of her matches in straight sets, and she has not dropped a single set. She has looked particularly impressive on her return of serve, and she has also been hitting her groundstrokes with great power and accuracy.

Collins' next match will be against the 16th seed, Anett Kontaveit. Kontaveit is a former world number two, and she is one of the most consistent players on the WTA Tour. However, Collins will be confident of causing an upset. She knows that she can beat anyone on her day, and she will be hoping to produce another inspired performance in the fourth round.

Conclusion

Gael Monfils and Danielle Collins are two of the most exciting players to watch in tennis today. They are both in excellent form at the moment, and they will be hoping to continue their good run when they take to the court in the fourth round of the Australian Open. If they can maintain their current level of play, they will both be contenders for the title.

However, there are plenty of other players who are also in good form at the moment. The men's draw is particularly wide open this year, with no clear favorite. The women's draw is a little more settled, but there are still a few players who could challenge the top seeds. It is shaping up to be a thrilling second week at the Australian Open, and it will be fascinating to see who comes out on top.
