Nick Kyrgios v David Goffin Head to Head
There have been four previous meetings between these two players with Kyrgios having won three of them. None of them came on grass though and they last faced off in 2017.

Kyrgios Hoping to Emulate 2022 Showing
2022 was Kyrgios’ best career showing and his performance at Wimbledon last year left fans demanding for more.
The Aussie went on to make the final of that tournament before giving Novak Djokovic a run for the money in that title-decider.
Unfortunately for Kyrgios, he has suffered a few injuries on the way and his comeback in this season has been regularly delayed. In fact, he did not play for a while till finally returning to the courts on the grass of Stuttgart two weeks ago.
That did not go too well for the world number 33 who lost to Wu Yibing before proceeding to tweet to his fans that he needed some time to get back to his best.
Unfortunately for Kyrgios, he has been drawn a reasonably challenging first round opponent but the good news is Goffin himself has been struggling to get back to his best.

Goffin Relegated to Trying to Win Matches on the Challenger Circuit
Having fallen drastically in the rankings because of his inability to win any sort of matches, Goffin enters Wimbledon knowing he has a lot to do to turn things around. And that playing Kyrgios could be like a double-edged sword given his opponent’s talent and form issues.
Goffin was ranked 40th in the world as recently as in February earlier this year but his ranking has taken a huge tumble since then, falling to 123rd right now.
And that was reflected in the way he’s played on grass too this season.
The Belgian featured in Rosmalen where he was forced to qualify for the main event but lost to Alexander Bublik in the opener. And he then made it to the second round at the Ilkley Challenger competition where the 8/5 underdog Juncheng Shang sent him packing.
Can he put up any kind of a showing against the under-prepared Kyrgios?
Kyrgios v Goffin Prediction and Tip
Interesting to see the odds on this one. Kyrgios is still the favourite but there is that inherent worry he might struggle to get going in a best-of-five scenario and that’s where his 8/13 is a reflection of some caution from bookmakers. Goffin could spring a surprise here.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Goffin to win two sets: 8/13
- Moderate Risk Tip: Goffin to win: 13/10
