A nice sense of achievement for David Goffin, after difficult times on the tour recently: He won the title in Marrakech with a 3: 6, 6: 3, 6: 3 against surprise finalist Alex Molcan (ATP No. 65). Among other things, he had taken the top seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime out of the race.

Goffin, a former world No. So far this year, too, there have always been early defeats.

In Marrakech, however, there was now a possible change: Goffin beat Pablo Andujar, Roberto Carballes Baena and Federico Coria, among others.

The Belgian will also be on the way up again in the world rankings, starting tomorrow he will be back in the top 50.
