We are into the final few weeks leading up to the U.S. Open and almost nobody has more momentum than Milos Raonic and David Goffin. Raonic followed up his Wimbledon semifinal showing with a title on Sunday in Washington, D.C. Goffin is on a streak of 20 consecutive match wins and he captured his first career ATP title on Saturday in Kitzbuhel.
One way or another, we were guaranteed a first-time winner here. Not only were both players in their first finals, neither had ever made a semifinal before. David Goffin had three ATP quarterfinals (Chennai 2012, Winston-Salem 2012, Valencia 2012); Dominic Thiem had two (Kitzbuhel and Vienna 2013).
Twenty matches since Wimbledon. Twenty wins for David Goffin. The first 15 of those 20 earned him three consecutive Challenger titles, but the most recent five this week were the ones that mattered most.
Maybe we should have taken the idea of Donald Young as the American #2 more seriously. Kevin Anderson will remain below the Top Twenty, but Young moves past Sam Querrey, Jack Sock, and Steve Johnson; he is on the brink of the Top Fifty.
Something will have to give on Saturday when Dominic Thiem and David Goffin vie for the bet-at-home Cup title. Thiem is playing at home and on what is becoming his favorite surface. Goffin, however, has won an incredible 19 matches in a row since Wimbledon.
With the French Open just starting, we chose some of the best shots for today. Enjoy!
