Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+2.5) for Goffin – 1.75.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 22 – 1.73.
Goffin showed quite well at the recent Masters in Madrid, where he managed to reach the 1/8 final from qualification and overpowered Nadal in the course of the tournament. We believe that David is perfectly capable of handling Hurkacz in the upcoming meeting.
Both Goffin and Hurkacz are at about the same level of play, so it is reasonable to expect a tight fight in their head-to-head encounter.
Hurkacz had a decent showing at the Madrid Masters last week. He reached the quarter-finals, where he lost to Novak Djokovic (3-6, 4-6).
Against the Serb, Hubert was unlikely to stand a chance, breaking his opponent with very few mistakes while recovering well on the receiving end.
In Monte Carlo, Hurkacz also dropped out after the quarter-finals. Here he lost to Grigor Dimitrov (4-6, 6-3, 6-7). This defeat was unfortunate as the Bulgarian won the tie-break game in the third set.
On the whole, it is clear that Hurkacz is playing much better on the court this season than last year.
Goffin started the clay part of the season with a victory in Marrakech. In the final, David defeated Alex Molcan (3-6, 6-3, 6-3).
Goffin, meanwhile, had an absolutely crazy match against Rafael Nadal in the third round of the Madrid Masters.
It was looking like the Spaniard was going to win in two sets, but at some point, Nadal suddenly began to falter. In the end, it all ended with Rafa barely escaping defeat in the third set with an unbelievable comeback. In the tie-break of the decisive set, Goffin had four match points. A very upsetting defeat with a score of 3-6, 7-5, 6-7.
On the other hand, the match against Nadal proved that Goffin is ready to play at a high level again.
In 3 of Goffen’s last 5 matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with the odds of 1.82.
Hurkacz has played three tie-breaks in his last five matches. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with the odds of 2.38.
