Career

Juniors

As a junior he compiled a singles win/loss record of 76-40, reaching as high as No. 10 in the junior combined world rankings in July 2008. He took part in only two junior slams, losing in the second round of the French Open and the first round of Wimbledon in 2008.

2011

Goffin won his first match on the ATP tour at the 2011 Chennai open, defeating India's No. 1, Somdev Devvarman. He lost in the second round to Stanislas Wawrinka.

2012: Breakthrough

In 2012, he reached the quarterfinals of an ATP World Tour tournament for the first time at the 2012 Chennai Open, after defeating top-50 countryman Xavier Malisse and Andreas Beck.

At the French Open 2012, though he did not win in the last qualifying round of the qualifications, he entered the tournament's main draw as a lucky loser thanks to the withdrawal of Gaël Monfils. In his first round, he faced world no. 27 and 23rd seed for men's singles Radek Štěpánek and beat him in five sets. The second round saw Goffin take on French veteran player Arnaud Clément (who was playing his last French Open) whom he beat in five sets in a match postponed due to rain at a score of 5-1 the previous day. Goffin then beat Łukasz Kubot in the third round to become the first lucky loser to reach the last 16 of a Grand Slam since compatriot Dick Norman at Wimbledon 1995. Goffin was eventually eliminated by third seed Roger Federer, but not before managing to win the first set.

He received one of the wild cards for Wimbledon, and in the first round he beat 20th seed and 2011 quarterfinalist Bernard Tomic. Then, in the secound round, he beat Jesse Levine to advance to the third round, where he ultimately lost to the resurgent 10th seed Mardy Fish.

At the US Open, he entered the main draw, but lost in the first round to world no. 7, sixth seed, and eventually semifinalist at the tournament Tomáš Berdych.

He then won two singles matches to secure Belgium a place in the 2013 Davis Cup World Group.

2013

Goffin started the season by making his debut at the 2013 Brisbane International. He defeated wildcard (and crowd favourite) Matthew Ebden, before losing to seventh seed Jürgen Melzer in the second round.

In the first round of the French Open he had to face current number 1, Novak Djokovic. He proved a challenge for Djokovic, but lost the match in straight sets. Goffin's performance as well as Djokovic's laboured efforts in defeating him was the subject of brief attention to the quality of Goffin's playing.

Goffin made it to the third round in Cincinnati, where he was again defeated by Djokovic. He qualified in Winston-Salem and defeated Jack Sock in the first round, but lost to Dmitry Tursunov in the second round. He did not play any further tournaments in 2013 after the US Open, where he lost in the first round to Alexandr Dolgopolov.

2014-2015: First career titles, breaking into the top 30

Goffin had to retire in his second-round match at the Challenger event in New Caledonia, and he withdrew from qualifying for the Australian Open due to a left quadriceps injury.

From July to August, following his opening round loss at Wimbledon to defending champion Andy Murray, Goffin won four consecutive tournaments. The first three of which were Challengers, but the fourth was his maiden ATP tour-level title when he won the Austrian Open Kitzbühel, beating Dominic Thiem in the final. During this run, Goffin won 40 out of the 42 sets he played and won 20 consecutive matches.

In September, after reaching the third round of the US Open for the first time, he won his second career ATP title, the Moselle Open in Metz, France, beating higher seeded players Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarterfinals and João Sousa in the final. His run from July to September launched him over 75 places up the rankings, putting him into the world's top 40 for the first time in his career.

At the Swiss Indoors in Basel, he advanced to his first ATP 500 tournament final, beating Milos Raonic in the quarterfinals, his first win over a top-10 player. He lost the final to five-time champion Roger Federer in straight sets, however his run to the final propelled him to a career high ranking of number 22 in the world, a ranking with which he would finish the 2014 season. After having started the year ranked 111th in the world, Goffin ended the season ranked just outside the top 20, a difference of 89 places, and as a result he was awarded the Comeback Player of the Year award by the ATP for 2014.

2015 saw Goffin have continued success, reaching two more ATP finals and breaking into the world's top 20 as well as decent runs in the major tournaments. His season was highlighted by being the driving force in the Belgium Davis Cup team's surprise run to the final, which they eventually lost to Great Britain, Goffin being defeated by Andy Murray in the decisive fourth rubber.

2016: 4th round at Australia, first career Masters 1000 semifinals

He reached fourth round for the first time at 2016 Australian Open, where he lost to Roger Federer in straight sets.

In March at Indian Wells he reached his first Masters 1000 semifinal where he lost to Milos Raonic. He followed it up with another semi-final defeat in the next tournament, in Miami losing to Novak Djokovic in straights sets.

He next competed in the Monte Carlo Masters. He played his first round against Feliciano Lopez where he won 7-5 6-0. He then played Fernando Verdasco. He won in a close match 7-6(7-2) 2-6 7-6(7-1). He then lost to lucky loser Marcel Granollers 6-7(1-7) 4-6.

Then he competed in the BMW Open. In his first match he defeated Victor Estrella Burgos 5-7 6-3 6-2. He then played Sascha Zverev. He lost 3-6 6-4 3-6.

He then competed in the Mutua Madrid Open. Despite having four match points he lost in the first round to Lucas Pouille 6-7(4-7) 6-2 6-7(7-9).

Then he competed in the Rome Masters. He won his first match against Leonardo Mayer 2-6 7-6(10-8) 6-3. He next played Jack Sock in the second round, winning in straight sets, 6-4 6-4. He then played world number eight Tomáš Berdych and defeated him without losing a single game, 6-0 6-0. In the quarterfinals, he lost to 2nd seed Andy Murray, 1-6 5-7.
