Tomorrow's match between Federer and Goffen in Shanghai should be pretty straight one. Goffin`s first serve is now at the high level and he must get his points right up to the tie break. Age takes its toll and the "father" of tennis can give slack in several aspects of playing on the back line. In this match I expect +asian handicap for a Belgian Goffen with a possible tie-break in one of the sets.
Federer vs Goffen is one of most tricky match happening in tommorrow's card as I am also expecting some very good game from Goffen as he is on his top but we have some other good matches also like Zverev Rublev these both youths also doing very good for some time Fognini vs Khachanov Khachanov is in very good touch but Fognini is not easy to beat.
I believe you guys think Coffin will play a good game against Federer but what I'm seeing is an easy win for Federer and below are my prediction for Djokovic vs Isner and Medvedev vs Pospisil game respectively.
Djokovic will win
Medvedev will also win as well.
Well it wasn't so easy for Federer to win which I suspected as like I said Goffin seems to play well at the back end of the season. Goffin had he's chances in the first set but Federer was just too good but again it wasn't an easy win for Federer.
Rublev was the surprise for me losing the first set 6-0 to Zverev, he did fight back in the second but the damage had been done in the first set as it gave Zverev all the momentum which is hard to stop in tennis.
Now we will see some great match ups with Federer taking on Zverev and Djokovic taking on Tsitsipas, these two matches are going to be good to watch, will we see an upset here?
That was a great match between Federer vs Goffin, I totally agree mate, it seems that Goffin really played well when he faces Federer and I think that there could be a upset in the making here. But it was not enough as Federer needs to dig deep on his bag of tricks.
I thought Rublev retire when I check the score, LOL, yeah he try to mount a comeback but it feel short in the second set.
Interesting to see my boy Tsitsipas against Djokovic, I'm not going to be surprise if we are going to see him playing his best tennis here and push Djokovic to his limit.
