Head To Head: 3-1
The two have faced off against one another four times, with Goffin holding a three-to-one advantage in the head-to-head series.
Goffin prevailed in their first meeting in Japan in 2017, while Gasquet prevailed in Montpellier the following year. But in 2019, in the Masters competitions in Cincinnati and Shanghai, the Belgian came out on top in both of their matchups.
Prediction
Friday’s quarterfinal matchup at the 2022 European Open pits world no. 58 David Goffin of Belgium against no. 82 Richard Gasquet of France.
Belgian wildcard Gilles Arnaud Bailly gave Goffin a very challenging encounter in the opening round, and it took him three sets to beat a competitor rated more than 1,100 places lower than him. He easily defeated third-seeded player and current world number 19 Diego Schwartzman on Thursday night.
The Argentine immediately faced a serve challenge and dropped the third game of the match. He had to repel further Belgian assaults, but he quickly regained the lead and held it throughout the tie-break. However, Goffin easily won the tie break. Schwartzman received no mercy in the second set and promptly broke again. Goffin did not let him off the hook this time, lavishly celebrating with another break in order to win the game and ensure home support for the quarterfinal.
On the other hand, with 15 senior titles under his belt, the most recent of which came in Rosmalen four years ago, Gasquet is now entering the veteran stage of his lengthy career. By making it to the US Open third round and the semi-finals in Winston Salem, he demonstrated that he is still capable of performing at a high level. This week’s events in Antwerp have provided additional proof of that. He trailed Stan Wawrinka in the opening round by three match points, but he still came back to win. In their matchup in the second round, Swiss qualifier Dominic Stricker gave him yet another difficult test.
In the first set, Gasquet dropped his serve before breaking back right away as the momentum swung back and forth. In the next tie-break, each had mini-break advantages at various points before Gasquet won the set. The second set, which started with Stricker losing his serve, continued to be intense. Break points for both men came and went until Gasquet was finally broken. But despite the Swiss making another attempt at a fightback, he patiently waited, broke Stricker again to love, and eventually succeeded in serving out.
The match’s betting favourite is Goffin. He is competing in front of his own home audience, is younger, and has a better head-to-head record.
