Gasquet, at 36, is still showing quality tennis. So, he should not be written off. We believe that Richard has a good chance to put up a good fight in the upcoming match.
Both players are approaching this match in fine form, so we can expect the match to be a long one. All the more so because the only clash between Gasquet and Goffin on the indoor hard court ended in three sets.
Gasquet started in Antwerp with a hard-fought win over Stan Wawrinka (2-6, 7-6, 6-4). Then, Richard defeated Dominic Stephan Stricker (7-6, 7-5) in two sets.
Richard has seven wins on the indoor hard court this season, with six defeats. In late September, Gasquet reached the Challenger quarter-finals in Orleans, where he lost in three sets to Gregoire Barrere (6-1, 3-6, 4-6).
Gasquet has lost eight of his last ten quarter-final matches.
Goffin faced little-known Gilles Arnaud-Bailly in the first round in Antwerp and only defeated him in three sets (7-6, 5-7, 6-4).
In the second round, David sealed a win over Diego Schwartzman (7-6, 6-2). David reached the quarter-finals of the tournament for the first time this season, which takes place on a hard court. Goffin won one tournament this year, winning in Marrakech earlier in the season.
Goffin has won three of his previous five battles against lower-ranked opponents.
In 3 of Goffin’s last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.68.
