THE PREDICTION
28-year-old Marco Cecchinato played very well to overcome an in-form opponent in Dominik Koepfer and the Italian will have a real chance at beating the 11th seed David Goffin here as the Belgian continues to fluctuate. World number 13 Goffin won his fifth ATP title this season in Montpellier amongst a whole host of poor results and his three-set victory over Marin Cilic in the first round exhibited both sides of his current game as a microcosm of class and unforced errors. The pair have played three times before with Goffin leading their head-to-head record 2-1, with a win apiece on clay but the Belgian claiming both 1000 event wins. At the height of his powers Cecchinato beat Goffin on the way to the semi-finals of Roland-Garros in 2018 but both players are currently shades of their former selves, Goffin just less so. On a different surface you would pick Goffin to win this encounter but Cecchinato’s performance against Mannarino was enough to suggest this could need a decider, so take this match to see three sets and leave a winner up to chance.
