View Full Version : David Goffin
I couldn't find a thread on him and with Monday's rankings he will move to the top 10, so I thought I'd add one.
Goffin after a great week getting to the Sofia finals last week (lost to Dimi) is now into another final. He plays tsonga tomorrow in Rotterdam. In the live rankings he is now at a career high of 10 but it won't be official til Monday and his ranking then will depend on if he can get more points tomorrow. Could be as high as 7.

Well done Goff - he's been a long time getting there!

Congrats to Goffin on making the top 10 - a lovely player, always felt he'd make it one day.:bravo:
The Milky Bar Kid makes it in the end!!! :dance:
I would have like to see goff take the trophy but it wasn't to be. Two finals in two weeks shows how he deserves to be in the top 10. It is a great achievement. Well done goff and his girlfriends lol.

Goff is back down to 11 in the rankings but he is in action in Acapulco this week so has a chance to make up more points. He plays Robert 3rd on centre today.

Just read that David Goffin has pulled out of Wimbledon. What a shame for him.
Oh poor Daveed G, I was hoping he would have a good Wimbledon. :sad:
Oh no! I saw the match where it happened when we were in puno. It looked bad but I was hopeful. Sad not to see him in wimbie :( get well soon goff
Goffin is "back on track" and in action on the clay in Umag Croatia this week. First match is later today
This is great news. Best of luck to David.

Come on David, you can do it! :cheer:

Argh, Benneteau takes the first set 6-3. C'mon Goffin - right back at him :cheer:
The positive is with his points as they are even if he doesn't win today he's still likely to go through even if it's in 8th place

Well he must think DelPo isn't going to loose in the final to Pouille and that he's already in the ATP finals
Alas not to be, David lost 3-6, 3-6, mind can't really begrudge Benneteau it is his last Paris tournament as he is retiring in 2018.
Only way he doesn't qualify is if delpo goes through tomorrow and pouille wins the tournie. Hopefully the first instance will happen but not pouille for the title. Just to put on kinds at rest come on sock!!!
Poor goff though, tough loss
I think Pouille beating DelPo in the final is only result that would stop him qualifying
RosieBear

Typical - players always get the jitters at Bercy when on the brink of an O2 spot :facepalm: Hopefully Goff through by default later.

I think Pouille beating DelPo in the final is only result that would stop him qualifying
Yes Bautista Agut can go above Delpo if he wins and Delpo loses semi but can't get above Goffin, got confused for a minute had already said earlier it was only combination that could ko Goffin
With pouille out of Paris goff has now qualified for London :)
:clap::clap::clap: David qualifies!!!!!:clap::clap::clap:

The Best of Luck David!!! ... :thumbup::thumbup:

Pretty even. Rafa was a break down but now on serve.
At the moment Goffin is going toe to toe with Rafa, playing well in my opinion, 4-4 hope he stays in the zone, now 4-5
What a shot from Goffin makes it 6-5
DF from Goffin 15-40 another double fault 6-6 .... TB time
RosieBear
13-11-2017, 21:02
Argh! Come on David!
3-3 in the TB ... nerves are getting to Goffin
Level 5-5
Well played there Goffin kept his cool 6-5
Getinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn First set to Goffin 7-6 he kept his cool, got to keep that level going!!
RosieBear
13-11-2017, 21:11
That is brilliant!!!!! Long way to go because Rafa sooo mentally tough, but keep going David!!!
exislander
13-11-2017, 21:13
Yes David! You CAN do it!
David just squeaked thru in the end!! Some head in hands moments! Also some moments of sheer brilliance. Now for set 2......
He is playing some great shots young Gofffin!!
2nd set 4-3
Goffin serving for the match 5-3
RosieBear
13-11-2017, 21:42
Squeeee!!! C'mon David, you can do it, believe!
Rafa broke back 5-4, David struggled there to close the match out!
RosieBear
13-11-2017, 21:46
Groan :sad: OK, break for the win Goff, c'mon!
Match point for David! ...... noooooo he sends it wide now ad to Rafa and he levels 5-5

Nooooo :sad::sad: keep fighting David, can so do this!!
RosieBear
13-11-2017, 22:10
:sad::sad::sad: - hang in there David, keep creating the chances! (& preferably take them :whistle:)
What a massive bottle merchant Goffin is.
How many chances David had!! I hope he can now maintain his challenge.
RosieBear
13-11-2017, 22:15
Yep, super-talented but struggles with nerves. Bit like Dimi. It's such a shame. But not over yet, c'mon David - believe it yourself when it counts.

Some exciting points but sadly can't see Goffin coming through now, psychologically tough having not capitalised on the chances. Nadal stepping up a bit but was given the opportunity.
RosieBear
13-11-2017, 22:33
David double break up!! 4-1. If you can't be clinical, then next best thing is fight, fight, fight. Keep going David because you CAN do it!!!
JAMES4578
13-11-2017, 22:40
Maybe I was wrong but victory still not guaranteed, hopefully David does not give Rafa a look back in!

Maybe I was wrong but victory still not guaranteed, hopefully David does not give Rafa a look back in!
I hope not too James, but worry for him - Dimi said after his match that debuting at WTF so nervewracking. Such a tough opener for David, hope he can do it!
RosieBear
13-11-2017, 22:50
ugh - hoped David could break to take it, but Rafa holds for 5-4 and David will have to serve for it. Deep breath and back yourself young Goffikins!
Well it's 5-4 to David & his serve so if he doesn't take this now
Match point ....................WELL HE DOES IT AT LAST!!!!!!!!
Goffin wins 7-6, 6-7, 6-4....:clap: :clap: :clap:
RosieBear
13-11-2017, 22:54
He did it!!!!! Wow!!! What a win for Goff! Never beaten Rafa and chooses O2 debut to do it. Can be so proud of how he composed himself when it looked so tough. Bless him, just so happy for him, esp after his horrific ankle injury at RG. Really wish I could have watched. Could tell from LS that Rafa fought like a tiger, so fair play to him too.
So pleased for Goffin, but have to say Rafa played well but not his best, struggling with his knee, but not going to take it away from Goffin, nerves crept in at those four match points but finally he did it .. Well Done!!
JAMES4578
13-11-2017, 22:57
David made it hard for himself but finally gets the win, well done!:clap::clap: May not have been Nadal's best but Goffin still needed to earn the win.
David did it the hard way but glad he could maintain his tennis in the third. He certainly has the game....he just needs a tad more belief. But well done David. A good win.
Rafa has withdrawn from the WTF, knee injury recurs
From a ring side seat, Rafa looked grumpy and edgy from the outset. He wasn't running for things he'd normally run for and it was fairly clear he wasn't firing on all cylinders. Still, good scalp for Goffin in the end.
Oh yes and Rafa forgot his little mascot at the beginning. Poor kid had to trot on after him. He must have been gutted.
It was a fabulous match to be at. I was completely engrossed. Raffa was clearly frustrated and seemed to tire but with my eyes I could make out his expression even from row H. I like both goff and Raffa but wanted to see gods win. He was fantastic. I'm so glad that he didn't give up even though he had so many chances. He just kept on trying when frustration would have got to many others. I really thought he deserved the win. He was so happy and proud at the end too. Well done to Goff :) best match of the my two days at the 02 :)
Well done Goff - made my day!:dance::dance::dance:
David did it the hard way but glad he could maintain his tennis in the third. He certainly has the game....he just needs a tad more belief. But well done David. A good win.
I completely agree Pat, it is the confidence he is lacking. Hopefully I good run here will help that
much, much later, DG is ranked 11 in the world, playing in Cincinnati, won 2 matches last night (K Anderson and del Potro, both in straights) and is through to the semi tonight, at midnight here, when he will have the chance to give fedX big licks
JAMES4578

A few great performances from David, seen the Delpo match-when he lost break in 2nd wondered if it would swing but came through in 2nd TB.
alas, DG retired after 1-1 in set 2, shoulder strain; fedX snuck set 1 on a tiebreak,(3).
Felt sad for David. He looked almost in tears as he left the court. :sad:
Hope there's nothing serious and we will see him at the USO. He's having a tough year.

Yes was a pity, David in draw for Winston Salem but must be a doubt now there at least.
Goffin has called time on his season because of a bone edema (bone marrow leision). I hope his rest and recovery goes well. https://www.facebook.com/346831302045633/posts/1967700999958647/
Sad to read this. Hope David rests well and recovers well. :sad:

Sorry to hear, however hopefully recovery goes well and David will be ok for next season.

Not sure if this is the right place but if anyone is interested (on Eurosport) David is playing well in the second round of matches this weekend of the Ultimate Tennis Showdown. Some very innovative ideas in Mouratoglou's format. I watched a little last weekend but the rules do take a bit of getting used to. Some interesting players in this.
David got married!
