David Goffin (French pronunciation:[davidɡɔfɛ̃];[4] born 7 December 1990) is a Belgian professionaltennis player. He reached a career-high singlesranking of world No. 7, making him the highest ranked male player from Belgium in tennis history. He is also the first and only Belgian man to be ranked in the top 10.[5]He is currently the No. 2 Belgian player.[6]
Goffin has won six ATP titles and reached nine other finals, most notably at the2017 ATP Finals.Goffin's breakthrough came at the2012 French Open, where he was alucky loser making hismajor debut. He reached the fourth round before losing toRoger Federer in four sets.[7] Goffin has since reached four major quarterfinals, at the2016 French Open, and the2017 Australian Open, and the2019 and2022 Wimbledon Championships. At the 2017 ATP Finals, Goffin defeatedDominic Thiem, world No. 1Rafael Nadal and world No. 2 Roger Federer en route to the final where he lost toGrigor Dimitrov.
Goffin plays a baseline-oriented game, and he is considered to be anoffensive baseliner, with accurate and powerful groundstrokes. He has a good forehand, which he uses to good effect and to move opponents around the court, but his two-handed backhand is his strongest shot, particularly down-the-line. It is considered to be one of the best two-handers on tour. Both wings are capable of producing winners. He is also one of the best returners in the game, winning 53.9% of second serve return points in 2017. He has a good serve, capable of reaching 125 mph (201 km/h).[8] He is an excellent mover around the court as well, and also excellent at retrieving tricky balls. He is solid at the net, but this isn't one of his major assets.[9]
Goffin is sponsored byWilson for his racquets andAsics for his clothing and footwear. He uses the Wilson Blade 98 18x20 Countervail racquet.
