ATP World Tour Finals debutants Gael Monfils and Dominic Thiem meet on Tuesday afternoon knowing a victory is crucial to their hopes of progressing at The O2. The pair suffered defeats on the opening Sunday of the event, Thiem slipping to a three-set defeat against former world No 1 Novak Djokovic having claimed the opening set, while Monfils gave big-serving Milos Raonic little to worry about in a 6-3 6-4 defeat.With just one more game to play, both players know a win is all-important particularly with Djokovic the dominant force in the group, the Serbs win over Thiem means he has won all 24 matches played against his rivals in the Lendl group. Ivan Lendl Group W-L Sets Games Milos Raonic 1-0 2-0 12-7 Novak Djokovic 1-0 2-1 18-9 Dominic Thiem 0-1 1-2 9-18 Gael Monfils 0-1 0-2 7-12 Thiem suffered on opening game defeat to Novak Djokovic in London Thiem will be the happier with his opening display having claimed a first set tie-break against Djokovic and with his final match against a Raonic who has struggled with injury, he will feel he is still in with a chance of making the last four on his first appearance at the season-end event.Monfils could not muster anything against Raonics powerful serve and knows the match against Thiem may be his best chance of keeping his hopes alive with Djokovic still to come.The Frenchman is up to a career high No 6 in the world rankings, while Thiem has claimed four titles this year, only Djokovic and world No 1 Andy Murray have claimed more. Thiem won the opening set against Djokovic before suffering defeat Both can claim to be enjoying their most consistent year on tour and their only 2016 meeting saw Thiem awarded the victory when Monfils was forced to withdraw from their last 16 encounter in Cincinnati.Their only other career meeting saw Thiem emerge victorious from a three-set battle on clay in 2015 but the conditions at The O2 are likely to level up an even-looking contest.
