Wimbledon 2015: David Goffin speaks to the media following his 3-rd round 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 win over Marcos Baghdatis

Spoiler:

Q. That's your second time in the fourth round of a Grand Slam. Congratulations.

DAVID GOFFIN: Thank you.

Q. Baghdatis didn't seem to have a lot of answers to what you were throwing at him today.

DAVID GOFFIN: Yeah, I think today was a very good match. Of course only the second time I'm in the fourth round so I'm really happy today.
It was a good match against Marcos. I have been really aggressive today. I didn't let him play, and I served really well, also. Not the first game, but after it was better (smiling).
Then from the beginning until the end it was a really, really good match. Like I said, I was more aggressive. I make him run a lot. Even if he had problems with his calf, I think it was okay.
But I'm really happy the way I played today and the way I managed every important moment.


Q. You came in with some form after making the final in 's Hertogenbosch. Are you feeling comfortable on the grass at the moment?

DAVID GOFFIN: Yeah, I knew I had the game to make some results on grass that I didn't in the past. This year I came from the clay, I came with a lot of confidence on grass and I knew I had the game to I had the legs, I had the strokes to play really high level on grass, and I'm really happy that this year I can make some result.

David Goffin makes his Bastad debut as the No. 1 seed

Spoiler:

David Goffin has made himself a fixture in the Top 20 of the Emirates ATP Rankings. Currently seated at a career-high World No. 14, the Belgian star is looking to capitalise on his position as top seed at a tournament for the first time as he makes his debut in Bastad.

“It’s a small pressure for me, because a lot of people are expecting some results from me,” Goffin told ATPWorldTour.com on Monday. “I’m feeling good and I’m going to use this pressure to play some good results this week, I hope.”

The 24 year old most recently reached the final in ‘s-Hertogenbosch (l. to Mahut), had a fourth round showing at Wimbledon (l. to Wawrinka) and, last weekend, helped Belgium reach the Davis Cup semi-finals with a win over Canada.

“I had a good grass-court season… I’m coming here with a lot of confidence,” he said. “That’s what I need to play well this week.”

In his opening match (after a first round Bye), Goffin will face Benoit Paire in the second round of the Skistar Swedish Open as he looks to make a push for the Top 10 in the Emirates ATP Rankings.

“It’s still close and far,” he said. “I’m going to focus on my game and what I have to do and then we will see if I’m close to the Top 10. It would be unbelievable, but I’m going to try and focus on what I have to do and the job I have to do on the court and we will see at the end.”

Wywiad po zwycięstwie w 3. rundzie Australian Open 2016

Spoiler:

David Goffin def Dominic Thiem 6-1 3-6 7-6 7-5

Q. The match start quite easy for you. Were you expecting this kind of game against him?
DAVID GOFFIN: Yes, of course. I know him really well, and in the beginning was really aggressive and maybe he was not in the good mood. Maybe it was a good thing for me to be aggressive since the first point.

I take the break really early, so maybe that's why he was a little bit surprised maybe that I was really aggressive at the beginning of the match. That's why it was 6-1. And then he started to serve better and feeling better on his baseline.

That's why it was tough the last three sets. It was tough until the end.

Q. The next round will see you playing either Federer or Dimitrov. Given the similarities - many people talk about the two players - does it seem like for you it's almost like similar game plan for you?
DAVID GOFFIN: I played both players already at least once, and, yeah, I mean, it's the fourth round of a Grand Slam. Of course if you want to go in the quarterfinal you have to play a big match and you have to give everything and to play wonderful match to go to the quarterfinals.

So I just have to be focused on what I have to do, like every match, to be aggressive and take every opportunities as I can.

At the end we will see. But for the moment, I'm just enjoying my performance today and take a day off tomorrow and be ready for the next round.



Q. I think it was in 2014 when you went back down to the challenger level and had that match streak of win after win after win. How much confidence did you take from stepping down a level and just getting more matches under your belt?
DAVID GOFFIN: Yeah, I took some confidence in challengers. I knew I had the level, and then sometimes you just need a few wins for legs and for your confidence.

And after that, you are really confident for the rest of your season and match after match you're feeling better. That's why now I think I am feeling better. I'm still improving my game day after day, and that's why now I'm really happy to get through the fourth round.

But I worked really hard since many years, and I'm really happy that now I'm in the top 20 and for the first time here in the fourth round of the Aussie Open.

Q. You said after the win you felt like you could go out and play another match. Do you still feel that way after the adrenaline has subsided a little bit?
DAVID GOFFIN: Yeah, I was just joking (laughter). Because it was a match with really high intensity, so mentally I lost so many energy on the court. I mean, mentally, even if physically I'm feeling good.

But mentally I'm a little bit down now after, because when you stay three hours focus on the match and what you have to do, sometimes when it's done and when it's finished you have -- you get tired right after the match.

That's maybe why I'm a little bit tired now, but physically I'm feeling good and the body is okay.

So I'm just have to rest for the next round.

Roger Federer def David Goffin 6-2 6-1 6-4

Q. Were you expecting such a fast-paced match and this amount of winners?
DAVID GOFFIN: Yes, of course, I expected that. But not like this. It's always tough to play on a court you've never played, like Rod Laver Arena. It was tough to feel my timing on my baseline. He was playing really good from the beginning.

When you start to feel better after two sets, one break down, it's tough to come back.
