Goffin’s Struggle to Find Form
David Goffin is still finding his way after a very rough 2021 season that saw him play very little tennis due to several injuries. It all went sideways for Goffin when he injured his knee at the Halle Open on grass after which he never quite found form. Even after returning from injury, his play was quite bad.
Things did not get much better early in 2022 but in the past few weeks, Goffin was able to find some form and win some matches. It started in the Davis Cup where he powered his nation past Finland. He travelled to Indian Wells but got bested in a close match by Jordan Thompson.
He then played the Phoenix Challenger where he won a couple of matches losing out to Liam Broady. It’s far from good by Goffin but it’s important for him to play matches and get into peak shape. His level should improve as he gains more confidence.

Carballes Baena’s Quest for Hard Court Success
Roberto Carballes Baena has always been a very good clay player while also struggling to find form outside of the surface. At times he would play a solid event but generally, he found most of his success on clay. 2022 is no different as he holds a 7-5 record on clay with a 1-5 record on hard courts.
Before coming over to North America he had a good run in Spain on clay. In Indian Wells, he showed a solid level but was unfortunate to run into Jenson Brooksby early and was easily overpowered by the American. Perhaps he will fare better in Miami but again his draw is not ideal.
He reached the 2nd round in Miami only once before and that doesn’t body well for the Spaniard. His lone win on hard courts this season came a long time ago so his confidence might not be too high either.
Goffin v Carballes Baena Prediction and Tip
This is a matchup between two players who have not been playing that well recently. David Goffin has had far more success on hard courts historically and generally is the better player. Carballes Baena is in better shape at the moment but his historical success on hard courts has not been good.
Their lone match on hard courts was played in Phoenix in 2019 and Goffin was able to win that match rather comfortably. The courts are quite similar to those in Miami so Goffin should be able to replicate a similar result in t his matchup.
He won a couple of matches on hard courts recently and after squeezing out a few close wins on the surface he should be confident enough to overpower a clay court specialist on it. Take Goffin.
Tip: Goffin to win in three sets: 3/1 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
