David Goffin vs Dominic Stricker Prediction: Expect a tight match

A first round should be the easiest game for a player, but the draw wasn’t the easiest for Goffin. He will play against one of the most in-form opponents who gave Andy Murray a lot of trouble during the last week in Nottingham and could also create nightmares here.

David Goffin

One of the most talented players in the last 20 years is trying to give himself a chance in one of the last Wimbledon tournaments of his career. His record in the ATP is remarkable, being able to reach nr.7 back in 2016, while since then, he dropped out of the top 100 and now. With his favorite grass season returning, the chances to have a positive tournament in Wimbledon are growing as he finally stays injury free for this 2023. The last defeat came against Bublik in the Netherlands last week. However, the match was very tight, with the Kazakh exuberant star winning 7-5 7-5.

Dominic Stricker

The young Swiss player is trying to make his way into the ATP ranking less known than his next opponent. He’s around 130 in the ranking right now, but time plays for him as he still has many years of tennis ahead. He arrives here in good form with two matches won, and the loss arrived in Nottingham against a specialist of grass, a previous Wimbledon winner and a gold medal at the Olympic games, Andy Murray, who beat him only 7-5 7-6 in a very entertaining match where both players could have won.

Expert Betting Tips

Right now, David Goffin is not what he used to be, and the fresh energy and cheekiness of the young Swiss player, Stricker, can have the edge against him. We expect a tight match where the Swiss can win probably in 3 sets or 2 very close sets.
