Prediction
Rafael Nadal, the King of Clay, has returned after a sabbatical due to an injury sustained during the BNP Paribas Open. Before he took off at Indian Wells, the Spaniard had enjoyed a spectacular season. So far this tennis season, only Taylor Fritz has been able to beat the 21-time Grand Slam champion. The 35-year-old has already won three trophies this year, including the Australian Open, where he claimed a record 21st Grand Slam by upsetting World No. 2 Daniil Medvedev in a thrilling match.
On the other hand, the player from Belgium, Goffin did not have a really good advancement this year except for reaching the quarterfinals of the Challenger Phoenix, US and clinching the title at Grand Prix Hassan II.
Nadal is expected to maintain his spectacular form on home soil in a welcoming and friendly environment tomorrow against the Belgian.
