Rolex Shanghai Masters
New father gives David Goffin wings. After Lorenzo Musetti, the Liege native knocked out world number 3 Alexander Zverev at the Masters 1,000 tournament in Shanghai. In the 1/8th final he beat the Germans in two sets.
A few months ago he was considering putting away his tennis racket, but… David Goffin proving that it was a wise decision to continue for a while.
At the US Open he has already reached the 3rd round and since the birth of his daughter Emma in September, our partner has been living even more on a pink cloud.
World number 3 Alexander Zverev knows this too. The German had eliminated Goffin at Roland Garros this season, but now he got a taste of his own medicine.
Goffin again reached a good level: in the first set the 3rd set point was enough, in the second set he had to work a little harder. Zverev had a set point at 5-4, but Goffin still beat the German 7-5.
Goffin will face the American seventh seed Taylor Fritz (ATP 7) in the last eight, who was too strong for the Dane Holger Rune (ATP 14) in two sets in his fourth round, 6-1 and 6-2. This is the third match between Fritz and Goffin.
