David Goffin: Third round Wimbldeon 2016

David Goffin speaks to the media after his 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 6-1 win over Denis Istomin

Spoiler:

Q. How are you feeling about your form and your performance today?
DAVID GOFFIN: I'm feeling a little bit tired. Last two days was tough with the rain. It's tough to wait in the locker room.
You try to eat, you try to stay calm, and you never know when you're gonna go on court and stuff. It's tough.
That's why maybe in the middle of the third set I had a small down (smiling). I lost my concentration, but it wasn't physically. It was more mentally. So maybe that's why it was tough at the end of the third set.
But at the end I'm really happy to get through the fourth round for the second time here, and it was a great match.
Denis, even if it was two sets to love, he started to play much better in the third, and, yeah, I just tried to stay calm. At the end I'm so happy to win this one.

Goffy swoim podejściem zaraz zrobi Top-10. Jakoś mu nie żałuję, skoro jeden ma nadwagę, drugi jest pajacem, a trzeci się co chwila pakuje w tarpaty, to trudno, żeby ktoś o chłodnej głowie Belga nie doczekał się swoich szans.

[Mario]

Chłodnej głowy, jak rozumiem, w podejściu do tenisa?

Tak. Profesjonalizm w sensie.

Goffin Mixes Up With Maui Jim

Spoiler:

Belgian star is the top seed in his home tournament this week
What’s the best way to celebrate being a new ambassador for Maui Jim? How about mixing up a drink in a coconut! Monday in Antwerp, David Goffin’s smoothie skills were put to the test during a media event to announce him as a new ambassador for the sunglass brand.
At the Maui Jim Flying Jimmy booth near the European Open Practice Court, Goffin, who is No. 10 in the Emirates ATP Race To London, made the quintessential Maui Jim smoothie: mango, yoghurt, honey, lime, ginger and chia seeds on top with a violet flower served in a fresh coconut! The Belgian later picked out some new shades and gifted some to the journalists in attendance.

The top seed in Antwerp this week, Goffin awaits the winner of Tommy Robredo and Florian Mayer in the second round.

Ograny Murray, rutynowa porażka w finale do Rafy (ale po walce), żaden to istotny wynik, ale warto wspomnieć o finale pokazówki w Abu Dhabi.

[Barty]

W oficjalnych 5 meczach Belg jeszcze seta z Sirem nie ugrał, także rzeczywiście warto odnotować.

Goffin Battles Past Thiem

Spoiler:

Belgian records breakthrough result in Melbourne
David Goffin, the No. 11 seed, moved into his first Australian Open quarter-final on Monday, scoring a hard-fought 5-7, 7-6(4), 6-2, 6-2 win in Melbourne over eighth seed Dominic Thiem.
The win marked a repeat victory for the Belgian, who also defeated Thiem in the third-round of the 2016 Australian Open. Goffin improves his FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry against Thiem to 5-3.
“I’m tired, but feeling so happy. It was a really good match,” said Goffin. “I’m so happy that I found my way to find a solution in the second set. I served really well and then played two really good sets in the third and fourth.”
Next up for Goffin is No. 15 seed Grigor Dimitrov, who beat Denis Istomin in four sets. Dimitrov lead 1-0 in their FedEx ATP Head2Head series, but they haven’t played since the 2014 US Open.
“I will be focused on the match, not on the consequences if I win or lose,” said Goffin. “Dimitrov has won everything. He started the year really well and was really solid this week.”

The first set was punctuated by difficulty holding serve, with Goffin and Thiem’s strong returns producing five breaks in 12 games. But it was the Austrian who grabbed the critical break of serve at 5-5 and then comfortably held to love in the next game to grab the early lead.
Both players traded service holds throughout the second set, but Thiem fought off four set points on his serve at 4-5. Goffin remained mentally tough and raced to a 3/0 lead in the tie-break, holding his slight advantage to level the match at one set each.
Goffin appeared energised at capturing the second set and continued to relentlessly retrieve difficult shots from Thiem in the baseline exchanges. Meanwhile, the eighth seed struggled to find his range, hitting 16 winners to 30 unforced errors in the final two sets.
The Belgian broke Thiem twice in both the third and fourth sets, but saved his best tennis for the final stages of the match. Goffin ripped 12 winners to just three unforced errors in the fourth set, convincingly serving out the match on his first attempt to wrap up the win in two hours and 43 minutes.

Goffin po raz drugi w karierze zagra w wielkoszlemowej ćwiartce. RG16, AO17, brakuje tylko Wimbledonu i US Open.
