Goffin pursues his dream and topples Zverev!

David Goffin's tournament is pretty crazy.

In the end, it's a backlash in Shanghai that we expected more of.

More combative than ever and driven by his dazzling tennis, the Belgian has just beaten Lorenzo Musetti, Marcus Giron and now Alexander Zverev, back to back.

In a duel that nobody expected him to win, Goffin produced an exceptional performance.

Very present on the return and playing aggressive, precise tennis throughout the match (31 winners, 16 unforced errors), the former world number 7 won in two tight sets (6-4, 7-5).

A stunning performance, he will now face Taylor Fritz for a place in the semi-finals!
