Preliminary review and match prediction for Rafael Nadal vs David Goffin
Rafael Nadal:
Nadal is playing on the clay for the first time this season. The Spaniard has been recovering from a stress fracture of a rib for about a month. Rafa sustained the injury at the Indian Wells Masters.
Nadal opened his Masters’ campaign in Madrid with a (6-1, 7-6) win over Miomir Kecmanovic in two sets. Nadal left no chance at all in the first set, and in the second it was all decided on the tie-break. He was clearly happy with how the match went.

Nadal twice lost a game on his serve, but he easily made up for it with a strong game. For his first match after injury, it was more than convincing.
Last season, Nadal was shut out in the quarter-finals when he lost to Alexander Zverev (4-6, 4-6).
David Goffin:
Goffin is on course for the current Masters in Madrid. The Belgian tennis player started with a qualification.
In qualifying, he first stopped Jiri Vesely (6-3, 7-6) in two sets before defeating Alejandro Tabilo (6-4, 6-4) in two sets. In the main draw Goffin beat Aslan Karatsev (6-2, 7-5) and Botic van de Zandschulp.

Goffin’s success in Madrid cannot be called a surprise. In the first half of April, the former world number seven won a tournament in Marrakech and made it two rounds at the Monte Carlo Masters. Only Belgrade was unsuccessful, where the 31-year-old lost straight away to Filip Krajinovic.
