Fritz and Goffin are on the Day 10 Schedule at Rolex Shanghai Masters 2024 on Friday 11 October 2024. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.

Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In the upcoming match between Taylor Fritz (USA) and David Goffin (BEL), the series is tied at 1-1. They have faced each other before at the ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati in 2019, where Goffin won 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, and at Doha in 2021, where Fritz won 6-1, 5-7, 7-6(9).

Taylor Fritz is 26 years old and currently ranked world No. 7. He reached a career-high ranking of No. 5 and became the first American in the top 5 since Roddick in September 2009. In 2024, he has a win-loss record of 48-19 and has won 2 titles. In the Shanghai tournament, he has a record of 7-4 and reached the quarterfinals in 2024.

Some notable achievements for Fritz include winning his 5th ATP Tour title at the 2023 Delray Beach, which helped him achieve his career-high ranking. He also became the first American man to reach a Grand Slam final since 2006 at the 2024 US Open. In that tournament, he defeated players like Ruud, Zverev, and Tiafoe to reach the final. Fritz has also defeated Nadal in the 2022 Nitto ATP Finals SF and the 2022 ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells final, becoming the first American men’s champion at Indian Wells since Agassi in 2001. He has also reached his first Grand Slam 4R at the 2022 Australian Open and his first Grand Slam QF at the 2022 Wimbledon.

In his early career, Fritz reached his first ATP Tour final at the 2016 Memphis tournament as an 18-year-old wild card, becoming the youngest American finalist since the start of the ATP Tour in 1990. He has also achieved success in team competitions, winning the inaugural United Cup for Team USA in 2023, helping Team World capture the Laver Cup in 2022 and 2023, and earning a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics in men’s doubles with Paul.

Fritz will be looking to reach his fifth ATP Masters 1000 SF and his second of the season in Shanghai. He aims to join Korda in 2023 as the only American semi-finalists in the history of the Shanghai tournament. He has a strong record of 25-2 against players ranked outside the top 50 this season and a 10-1 record on hard courts, with his only loss being to No. 76 Seyboth Wild in the ATP Masters 1000 Miami 2R. He hopes to reach his third hard court ATP Masters 1000 SF, his first outside of Indian Wells.

Looking at the American ATP Masters 1000 semi-final leaders since 1990, Fritz’s accomplishments stand out with 4 QFs, behind players like Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, and Andy Roddick.

On the other hand, David Goffin is 33 years old and currently ranked world No. 66. He reached a career-high ranking of No. 7 in 2017 after earning a total of 59 wins that year. Goffin has notable wins against Nadal and Federer at the Nitto ATP Finals, becoming the 6th and final player to defeat both players at the same event. He was the first Belgian player to break into the top 10, qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals, defeat a world No. 1 player, and reach an ATP Masters 1000 final (2019 Cincinnati).

In 2022, Goffin earned his 300th victory, won his 6th ATP Tour title, and recorded his 3rd win over a world No. 1 player. He has reached 4 Grand Slam QFs, most recently at the 2022 Wimbledon, and has led Belgium to the Davis Cup finals in 2015 and 2017.

Goffin has the opportunity to reach his 6th ATP Masters 1000 SF, with his last one being at the 2019 Cincinnati final. He recently defeated No. 3 Zverev for his first top 10 win since October 2022 and aims to record multiple top 10 wins in the same event for the fourth time in his career. If he achieves this, he would be the lowest-ranked ATP Masters 1000 semi-finalist since No. 121 Karatsev at the 2023 Madrid.

Looking at Goffin’s past performances, he has recorded multiple top 10 wins at tournaments like the 2017 ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo, the 2017 Nitto ATP Finals, and the 2018 ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati.

Finally, the list of lowest-ranked Shanghai semi-finalists is provided, with Goffin having the chance to enter the list alongside No. 65 Mensik. The list includes players like Kei Nishikori, Feliciano Lopez, Juan Monaco, Tomas Machac, and Gilles Simon.

Overall, both Taylor Fritz and David Goffin have had successful careers and will be looking to continue their good form in the upcoming match in Shanghai.
