We take the same ones and...
6/2 6/3 in R2 of the qualifiers for the Goff against Arthur, and here they are playing again 2 days later???
Well, there are two opposing currents here. 1: it's difficult to beat the same opponent twice in a row. 2: Goff leads 3/0 against Rinder, no sets conceded. Which one to choose? Well... Without seeing the odds, I think I'll stay with the Belgian. Why? On the one hand because I like the matchup for him. He's capable of countering Rinder's power well, and playing disruption (understand, reverse the physiognomy of the rally, and even come to conclude at the net). What's more, he seems to read Arthur's serve well! Afterwards, I didn't see their match but it wouldn't surprise me if Arthur played badly. But there's no smoke without fire! So many aces and double faults means that the guy forced because he wasn't feeling well, and it's surely due to Goffin. Then, the Belgian is in a pivotal period of the season: he has quite a few points to defend if he wants to stay in the top 100 because he had a good Asian tour last season. And lastly, he's returning to a pretty good level I think. It's not there yet, but it's getting better and better. If he holds on physically, then I think he'll win. As for Rinder, I like to think he's choosing his wars a bit. In Asia, I'm not sure he's super motivated. He has a downright negative ratio on hard this season for example, whereas when he's at full speed he plays top 30 on this surface. So it just remains to be seen what the Belgian's rating is...
