Playing styles and prediction
After a tough start to the clay court season, Goffin has picked up form in the last couple of weeks having reached the semi-finals Aix en Provence challenger as well as forcing Alexander Zverev to a third set in Rome. However Goffin isn’t at his usual best on clay and will look to change his form around heading into the second Grand Slam of the season.
Norrie will look to be consistent on serve, neutralising the return of Goffin and trying to be as aggressive as possible. Meanwhile the Belgian will look to play on the counter-attack using his efficient returning to effectively construct points and use his variety to catch the Brit by surprise. This should be a very tactical match that Norrie will benefit from heading into Roland Garros and one that he should win in suitable conditions in Lyon.
Prediction: Norrie in three sets.
