Crippled Fight!!

Really not the fittest players on the tour.

Between Goffin who is back from injury with a problem to last the duration of the matches and a Baez completely out of the subject since the Golden Swing, this match promises to be strange. On a fast hard court with a not very high bounce it is obviously Goffin who starts with a good advantage, he is the one who has a good background in this tournament and he is the best player on this surface. Especially since his recent matches are not bad, he just lacks physical form to maintain a good level of play during an entire match. With a few good days of training he will be able to last a little longer but well.. If we can not take away one thing from Baez it is that the guy has a hyper physical game and in general he fights well, I saw some recent matches really not disgusting but we are still far from the prime Baez. In terms of match-ups, I like Baez's profile because he can counter and play his game to the fullest. Goffin is intelligent and skillful, but he's not the most powerful player on the circuit, and if Baez manages to settle down and gain confidence, he'll be hard to beat. And that's when the Argentinian can gain value. Physically, he can wear Goffin down, and given the Belgian's current problems in that area, he really has a shot at winning. But the other scenario is that Baez is so bad that Goffin can win this match in two sets relatively quickly.
