David Goffin will form part of Belgium's ATP Cup squad and it is a tournament he cannot wait to play in when it begins.

Goffin has already arrived in the country and said that representing his country on another occasion is always great and especially to do so in a new format is even better.

He added that also the opportunity for further ATP Points is also appealing meaning you are looking out for yourself as well as your country.

“For me it’s nice because you play another time for your country. It’s something that I like. I always love to represent Belgium and to play for friends, for the team, for Belgium,” Goffin said on Monday. “It’s great, and especially competition like that, a big one to start the year with a new format, it’s something big and we have a lot of great matches to start the season. I think it’s great.”

“First of course you play for your country, and if at the end you have some ATP points, it’s great also for your [ATP] Ranking,” Goffin said. “So you will play every match and try to win every point, every game, to win some matches for your country.”
