David Goffin v Denis Kudla Head to Head
The two have never met previously.
Also Read:
Goffin Returns to Winning Ways
Eighth seed David Goffin ended a seven-match losing streak with a straight sets win over Argentina’s Facundo Bagnis on Tuesday.
The Belgian, who had last won a match at the Rome Masters in May, saved six of eight break points and converted four of seven to win the one-hour-and-30-minute contest 6-4, 6-4.
Goffin had begun the 2021 season well, winning the Montpellier title and reaching the semifinals in Antalya, but a string of losses, followed by a knee problem which brought a pre-mature end to his season, forced him to finish with a 15-14 record last year.
With hopes of regaining form this year, Goffin began his 2022 campaign at Melbourne Summer Set, but his losing streak continued as he went down to Slovakia’s Alex Molcan in the second round after receiving a first-round bye.
A winner of five career titles, Goffin lost serve early in the first set on Tuesday but came back strong with two breaks of serve only to see the Argentine break again to draw level at 4-4. The Belgian got a third break of serve to go up 5-4 and then took complete control of the match from there on.

Lucky Loser Kudla Advances
Lucky loser Denis Kudla needed just 63 minutes to dispatch Argentina’s Federico Delbonis in the first round on Tuesday.
Kudla, who lost his first qualifying round in Melbourne, defeated fellow American Stefan Kozlov in the first qualifying round, but lost his second qualifying round against Jiří Veselý.
The 29-year-old still made it to the main draw as lucky loser and started off brightly, winning 74% service points and 59% return points in a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Delbonis.
The 109th-ranked Kudla, who had two runner-up finishes at the Challenger level in 2021, was 9-11 on the tour last season. Presented with a chance to compete in the main draw as a lucky loser, Kudla made the most of the opportunity, storming into the second round. He will look to keep the form going in the next round but faces a tough opponent in Goffin.
Goffin v Kudla Prediction and Tip
Tuesday’s win would have done a world good to Goffin’s confidence. With the losing streak broken, expect the Belgian to embark on a winning run now. Goffin’s expected to beat Kudla and reach a first quarterfinal since the Monte-Carlo Open in April last year.
Tip: Goffin to win in three sets: 3/1 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
