David Goffin as Alexander Muller. Prediction for the ATP Madrid match

Goffin and Muller will meet in the first round of the Masters in Madrid on April 24. If we compare the performances of tennis players on clay this season, then Muller's performance looks a little better than Goffin's. The Frenchman's main achievement was reaching the finals of a major tournament in Rio de Janeiro in February. Perhaps it is this success that gives reason to consider Alexander the favorite in the upcoming confrontation.

Command Analysis

David Goffin

Current form
Goffin competed in Munich last week. During that tournament, the Belgian managed to demonstrate a pretty good result, reaching the quarterfinals - at this stage he lost to Francisco Cherundolo. David has three wins and two losses on clay this season.
Professional qualities
Goffin stands out with a graceful two-handed backhand, confident movement around the court and instant counterattacks. Over the years, his physical condition has decreased somewhat, but experience and the ability to build practical jokes compensate for these losses. David is particularly effective on fast courts, including outdoor hard courts, where he has won five titles in his career.
Current indicators in the tour
During his career, Goffin won 21 trophies, including six in the ATP category. Last season, David won on grass at the Ilkley Challenger. In the world ranking, the 34-year-old Belgian is now in 49th place, although he was once in the top 10.
Interesting facts for betting
8 of Goffin's last 9 matches have been played in three sets.

Alexandre Muller

Current form
Muller has had an unsuccessful run in the last two tournaments. At the Monte Carlo Masters, he lost to Daniil Medvedev in the second round. Last week in Munich, the Frenchman lost to Alexander Zverev in the first round. Alexander has six wins and six losses on clay this season.
Professional qualities
Muller prefers a defensive style of play. Alexander consistently acts from deep inside the court, waiting for the right moment for a decisive counterattack. This strategy is especially effective on slow surfaces, so it is not surprising that the Frenchman feels confident on the ground, where, let's remind, he played in the final of the competition in Rio de Janeiro this season.
Current indicators in the tour
This season, Muller won his first ATP title of his career, winning the Hong Kong Open hard court. The 28-year-old Frenchman is currently ranked 39th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Muller has won only 1 of the last 4 matches.
