Also here I don't see too much chances for Gael Monfils. He is back after over 3 months of break and it will be very hard to stand against Ancic who find his game rhythm and beat many valuable players in this year. This will be his second match after break, in first he loss to Berdych 2:6, 3:6 and it isn't impressive because Berdych is in little bad row last days. Monfils need a while after injury and don't think he will get back defeating such good player like Mario. Ancic after many injuries, sickness and other problems struggled into Open 13 tour reaching final beating Tsonga, Soderling, Baghdatis and close loss in final against Murray. In Zagreb wins with Mahut and Haase and close loss to Ljubicic. Mario is more than 'harde-serve' player, he moves very well on court despites of his height and his technique is more wide-range than players with his gabarit. It is a big chance for Mario to make another good impression in quite big tournament and Gael for me is not ready to back and fight with such player, I see here quick win of Croatian talent.
