Playing Styles and Prediction

It hasn’t been the best season for Goffin so far although the Belgian does have a win over Carlos Alcaraz to show for his resilience with the victory coming in Miami. The world number 56 is now on his favourite surface and is hoping to produce a strong clay court season in order to enter the world’s top 50 in the coming months.

Harris will need to be aggressive on serve and will need to pick his moments as to when he will commit his court positioning with Goffin a threat in transitional play. The Belgian will use his movement and defensive skills to expose empty space on the court and exploit Harris’ weaknesses. This will be a tough test for Harris and a positive performance will do his clay court season wonders. However, Goffin should have too much for the Brit in two tight sets.

Prediction: Goffin in straight sets.
