Who stops David Goffin?

David Goffin is the man in shape during the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament. The now 30-year-old Belgian won the ATP tournament in Montpellier last Sunday and also made a good impression during his first appearance in Rotterdam Ahoy with a victory over the German Jan-Lennard Struff: 6-4, 6-0.

"It's never easy to start a new tournament after a title," says David Goffin, number fourteen in the ATP ranking. "Monday was a travel day and you always have to get used to the new circumstances. I did play a good match against Struff. It started with a quick break and I kept playing aggressively. ”

Placed at number six, David Goffin will face French qualifier Jeremy Chardy on Thursday from 11 a.m., who has already won three matches in Ahoy this week. "Chardy has also won a few difficult matches this year 7-6 in the third set," Goffin analyzes, who beat Chardy in two of the previous three matches. "He is in shape aswell and especially mentally strong at important moments. ”

Stefanos Tsitsipas also comes into action during the afternoon session. The second placed Greek will meet Pole Hubert Hurkacz on the center court, just like last year. It was a tough one for Tsitsipas at the time, who triumphed after a tough three-set.

The evening parties will consist of Dusan Lajovic-Borna Coric and Marton Fucsovics-Alejandro Davidovich Fokina from 7.30 pm.
