Tommy Paul vs David Goffin – Match Predictions
Contents
Tommy Paul is coming off a fantastic year making it to the top 20 in the world. Given the odds, he is a major favorite in the semifinal match against David Goffin who is trying to get back where he used to be.
David Goffin +3.5 games
David Goffin is far from the player he used to be but he can still play well especially on clay courts. He had tough two matches in the past couple of days which is not the case with Paul who wasn’t challenged at all in the opening two rounds. Still Goffin is the player who prefers clay court and he will have that advantage as well as the experience against Paul. The American moves better on the court but Goffin can respond from the base line. This will be a close match, and Goffin has everything he needs to go through and he will definitely cover the +3.5 games spread.
Over 22.5 games
David Goffin comes from back-to-back matches that went to the third set. Tommy Paul did not have such problems this week but will face much bigger of a challenge in the semis against the Belgian. Both players need this final to boost their confidence before the Masters 1000 tournament in Rome. This will be a long one probably going to the decisive set and most likely over 22.5 games.
