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. This match against Bublik will be of a lot of importance to Goffin as he looks to build the momentum he has been wanting for far too long now.
Alexander Bublik also hasn’t been in great form recently and looks to start the year on a high. He hasn’t made it to the later stages of any of the major tournaments he has played in the last couple of months. He lost to Wolf in the Firenze Open after winning the first two matches against Moutet and Garin. In the next tournament, he got knocked out right in the quarter-final to Auger-Aliassime after winning the first two matches against Ramos-Viñolas and Karatsev. In the last tournament, at the Paris Masters, he lost to Ymer in the round of 64 matchup.
