David Goffin came well-prepared for the 2021 season as he lost his last 5 matches in 2020.
But it didn't look very well for the Belgian in the first two sets of his first-round match against Pierre-Hugues Herbert at the Antalya Open. The Frenchman won the first set 6-3 and was serving for the match in the second set when he led already 5-4.
In that game, he also had 5 match points, before Goffin got to a break points which he converted to stay in the match. From that moment, it was a one-man show in Turkey. Goffin won all of the 9 last games to eventually win the match 3-6. 7-5, 6-0.
Alexander Bublik and Emil Ruusuvuori also advanced to the second round at the Antalya Open and Nikoloz Basilashvili, similarly to Goffin also broke his losing streak from the end of the 2020 season.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
