Gasquet and Goffin will take on each other in the last eight of the ASB Classic on January 12.
Richard Gasquet has not been in good form recently having lost three of the last five matches he has played. He will look to bounce back in style by picking up a win against his much-depleted opponent and building confidence that he has been lacking. He has lost against Ruud and Giron in the last two tournaments, the Paris Masters and the Adelaide International 1 respectively. He beat Alex Molcan in the round of 64 tie to face Ruud in the round of 32 stage. In the European Open, he lost to Auger-Aliassime in the semi-finals after crucial victories against Goffin, Stricker, and Wawrinka on the way. He beat Kiranpal Pannu in the first-round matchup and Joao Sousa in the second round with the score ending 7-6, 6-2.
David Goffin has not been in good form recently and has been on a losing run for the last couple of months and he will be motivated to have a change of fortune in the first match of the new year. He has been losing the tournaments he has played getting knocked out right in the first rounds. He lost to Richard Gasquet after winning the first two matches against Schwartzman and Bailly. In the next tournaments, he got knocked out right in the round of 16 tie against Nakashima and Dere. He beat Alexander Bublik in the first-round matchup and Christopher Eubanks in the second round with the score ending 6-2, 6-4.
