Designation
Hubert Hurkaczy †13† 12†No place in the 1/8 final for our compatriot David Goffin at Roland Garros. He lost in his match to Pole Hubert Hurkacz (ATP-13) after three fairly fast sets: 5-7, 2-6 and 1-6. Goffin also experienced groin pain as the game progressed.
Goffin and Hurkacz know each other through and through, as they are training partners. So the first group was completely equal. Only in the final final Hurkacz got on the accelerator for a while and eventually won the first set: 5-7.
Goffin playing well was still upset about that loss and didn’t get into his familiar rhythm after that. Hurkacz clearly had the upper hand and only lost 3 matches in Groups 2 and 3 together. Guffin was also regularly limp and had hip pain.
Hurkacz qualifies with relative ease for the 1/8 finals in Paris and will compete against Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego or Norway’s Casper Ruud. For Goffin, it’s unforgiving in Paris.
Then, David Goffin also confirmed that after his second-round match against Francis Tiafoe, he was already suffering from a sore left thigh and hasn’t been able to train much since. Goffin noted that there will now be a respite and that he hopes to prepare optimally for the turf season after that.
David Goffin: We can’t move anymore
After that, an excited David Goffin made his point in the previous match: “At the end of the first time I made a wrong move,” he opened his account. “I actually injured my left thigh against Tiafoe and at that point things got worse.”
“I was fine in the match and didn’t want to disappoint all the fans who were there. In the end it was a difficult task for Hurkacz, an impossible task. I was in so much pain.”
“I couldn’t move properly anymore. It sucks, but I can’t do anything about it now.”
There will now be investigations: “I don’t know exactly what I have yet. I’m coming straight from the field. The pain is in my muscle, in my left hip.”
“We’ll do the investigation and then we’ll see. I hope to be back on my feet soon.”
