Miraculous in the first round against his friend Pierre-Hugues Herbert (note: he was led 6-3, 5-4 with five match points against him), David Goffin was reassured in the game during the eighth finals against to the Spaniard Nicola Kuhn (6-0, 6-2). For a place in the last four, he will challenge the Italian Stefano Travaglia, 75th player in the world.
“I haven’t seen him at work because he was playing more or less at the same time as me, but I know he’s in good shape. He beat two very good players in this tournament. He is solid and mentally strong. It will not be easy to maneuver, moreover in these conditions, with the courts which are not very fast. He’s more of a clay court player, so the surface here suits him well. But my match today was very positive and that gives me confidence for the future ”, the Belgian told RTBF.
