David Goffin vs Taylor Fritz : Preview
Goffin is seeded 6th at this year’s Qatar Open. He had a terrible start to the year with a loss in the very first round of the Australian Open 2021. But he soon turned it around with a tournament win at the Montpellier Open. In the first round of the Qatar Open he beat Filip Krajinović easily with a score line of 6-4 6-4.
Goffin’s second round opponent is Taylor Fritz. Fritz reached the third round of the Australian Open 2021, and was part of the controversial match against Novak Djokovic. Djokovic beat Fritz in five sets, 6-7 4-6 6-3 6-4 2-6 in that match. In the first round of the Qatar Open Fritz beat Lorenzo Sonego 7-6 6-4.
David Goffin vs Taylor Fritz : Head-to-Head

David Goffin vs Taylor Fritz : Prediction
Goffin is an offensive baseliner, and his most dangerous shots are his groundstrokes. The win at Montpellier will have given him a lot of confidence. Fritz has a fantastic serve and his most potent weapon is the crosscourt forehand. But if they get into long rallies, Goffin will have the advantage because of his consistency.
Match Prediction: David Goffin to win in three sets.
