Goffin - Norrie: prediction and betting on the match of the 1/4 finals of Wimbledon

On July 5, at 16-30 Moscow time, Goffin will play against Norrie in the 1/4 finals of Wimbledon. Which of the guys will be able to make it to the semifinals of the TBSH for the first time in their career? Bookmakers consider the British tennis player to be the favorite of the match.

David Goffin

Goffin is a 31–year-old tennis player from Belgium, the 58th racket of the world. The season started poorly, but as soon as we got to the ground, things started to go uphill: the title in Marrakech, the 3rd round at the Masters in Monte Carlo and Madrid, at Roland Garros. He played on the grass in Halle, but lost to Medvedev in the first round. At Wimbledon, he started with two confident victories (over Albot and Baez), and in the third round he won a strong-willed victory over Umber: 4-6, 7-5, 6-2, 7-5. It was most difficult against Tiafoe in the 1/8 finals: 7-6, 5-7, 5-7, 6-4, 7-5. The match lasted more than 4.5 hours, in the decisive game David played two hidden matchballs with a score of 5-5, and then won the match by making a break.

Cameron Norrie

Norrie is a 26–year-old British tennis player, the 12th racket of the world. This season he won two tournaments (Delray Beach and Lyon), and also reached the final in Acapulco, where he lost to Nadal. I was not impressed at major clay tournaments, as well as on grass in Eastbourne and London. But at Wimbledon I managed to shoot, and for the first time in my career I got to the 1/4 finals of the TBSH. He easily dealt with Andujar and two Americans (Johnson and Paul), and in the second round he won a strong-willed victory over Munar: 6-4, 3-6, 5-7, 6-0, 6-2.

Personal meeting statistics

The only face-to-face meeting remained for Norrie: 6-0, 3-5, David's refusal. It was the match of the third round of the tournament in Barcelona last season.

Interesting facts:

• 1/4 finals (2019, 2022) – Goffin's best result at Wimbledon.
• David reached the 1/4 finals at the TBSH for the first time since 2019.
• 1/4 finals at Wimbledon-2022 – Norrie's best result at the TBSH.

Forecast from LiveResult.ru

In our opinion, the guys have already "jumped over their heads", despite the fact that Norrie has been playing in the TOP 20 for the second season in a row, and Goffin was in the TOP 10, but that was 4 years ago. For both tennis players, the net was not the most difficult. In no case do we belittle their diligence and skill, and we expect an equal, protracted and interesting struggle from a face-to-face meeting. The best bet option would be "total more".
