David Goffin vs Thiago Monteiro: Preview

The 30 years old Belgian, Goffin seems to have lost his mojo this year with having to face some undeserving losses prior to this tournament. He played and lost early at both Cincinnati masters and Halle open this year, missing out in action at the championships this year. The last he played, he lost 6-3, 6-3 to G Pella in the Round of 64 at the Cincinnati Masters.

On the other hand, Thiago Monteiro (Ranked 94) is the young Brazilian trying to make his mark at winning tournaments. He played the Salzburg-Anif Challenger, the Swedish Open, and Cincinnati masters en-route to this match and managed to gather a couple of victories at each. He beat James Duckworth 4-6, 6-4, 7-5 here at Winston in the Round of 64 before fixing the clash with Goffin today.

David Goffin vs Thiago Monteiro: Head to Head

These two players haven’t faced each other before making this match their first-ever meeting.

David Goffin vs Thiago Monteiro: Prediction

Since the two players haven’t met before, it would be obvious for the Brazilian to feel the nerves facing Goffin, one of the many experienced players on tour. Goffin, on the other hand, would try to capitalize on his hard-earned wisdom and experience to oust his opponent from the very beginning of the match. Facing a lefty, Goffin will certainly hit hard forehands wide across the court only to approach the net and close in with a volley.

Meanwhile, Thiago inspired by his idol Rafa would stick to his baseline topspin groundstrokes making it hard for Goffin to go for his full swings on the ball. All in all, the statistics and the support from the fans weigh-in for Goffin and we too certainly believe the same.
