For a year, the Liégeois has recorded disillusion upon disillusion. How can he get out of this bad patch?
For more than a year David Goffin has looked like a boat whose compass is totally out of order. A ship completely adrift, unable to find the course and close to capsizing at the slightest gust of wind.
After a 2021 season marked by injuries, the Liègeois had put a lot of enthusiasm and desire into his preparation, after a break of several weeks, to get back on his feet. To get back on the circuit, this player so regular, so spitting, so incisive, capable of jostling anyone and not a player who is no longer scary, an opponent against whom we are not unhappy to fall in the first round tournaments.
