For the fourth consecutive time, David Goffin came out in the first round of a tournament.
After David Goffin’s two victories against the Finns in early March, it was thought that the Davis Cup would serve as a trigger.

Unfortunately, the Australian, proudly sporting a mustache and mullet haircut, once again demonstrated that the Australians were indeed the bane of the Belgian number 1 (13 defeats for 5 victories on the ATP circuit).
