As he finally regained confidence after two straight victories at the ATP in Sydney, David Goffin worries again.
Opposed to the returning Andy Murray for a place in the last four of the ATP 250, the Belgian had to give up after the loss of the first set.
The 45th player in the world first requested a time out to treat an injury behind the left knee at the top of the calf at 5-2 for the Scotsman. Once the first set lost, the player coached by Germain Gigounon decided not to force and thus offers a place to the former world number one in the last four of the preparation tournament for the first Grand Slam of the year.
