Prediction: Goffin win @ 1.57

Goffin – Sock – In the semi-finals of the tournament in Basel there will be the third and fifth race holders of D. Goffin and J. Sock. For placement at this stage of the competition, Goffin managed to beat H. Chunga without a lost set, while Sock had to play all three sets to beat R. Haase’s resistance.

D. Goffin
After recent good results, Goffin made his best career rating at the beginning of this year when he was the 10th world player. The Belgian played well this season so he won 50 wins with 20 defeats. In the eight years of professional pursuit of tennis, Goffin has won four ATP titles, two of which are from the recent tournaments in Shenzhen and Tokyo, where he was better in the final matches than A. Dolgopolov and A. Mannarina.
He also had a good run at US Open, where he won the fourth round in which he was unexpectedly defeated by A. Rubleva. In addition to the two finals in which he came to victory, Goffin played two more final matches at the beginning of the year at the tournaments in Sofia and Rotterdam, where they were better than G. Dimitrov and J.W. Tsonga. Amazing defeat Goffin was on home field in Antwerp, where he lost the quarterfinals of 122th World Cup player S. Tsitsipas.

J. Sock
Sock had his best career rating in the fourth month of this year when he was the 14th player of the world. By this tournament in Basel this rating is significantly worse so Sock is currently on the 23rd position of the ATP ranking. This American tennis player has won three ATP titles in his career so far, two of which are from this season. He was best at the tournaments in Auckland and Delray Beach, where he finished in the final match with J. Sousu and M. Raonić.
Given that he missed the start of the season, Sock had a relatively small number of matches this year so his current ratio of victory and defeat was 29:18. In addition to the aforementioned titles, the American was one of the best performances he had at Masters in Indian Well, where he won the semifinals in which he was stopped by R. Federer. He was also good at the next Masters who played in Miami, where he came to the fourth quarter in which R. Nadal defeated him.

D. Goffin – J. Sock TIP
These two players have played two matches each time and both times was better than Goffin. The first incomplete match played in Winston-Salem in 2013 (4: 6 6: 3 1: 0) and the second last season at Masters in Rome (6: 4 6: 4). Goffin showed a much better form in the last few matches and came up to two titles, which is why it is valid for the favorites of this match. We believe that the Belgian will continue in this rhythm and will score semi-finals and with a smaller handicap in the number of winning gems.
