Billy Harris Faces Off Against David Goffin at BMW Open

MUNICH, Germany — Great Britain’s Billy Harris faces Belgium’s David Goffin in the first round of the BMW Open on Monday, April 14, 2025, at MTTC Iphitos. The match is set to start not before 11:10 a.m. UK time (6:10 a.m. ET, 3:10 a.m. PT).

Harris, who qualified as a lucky loser after his defeat to Chun-Hsin Tseng in the qualifying rounds, has struggled with his recent performance on clay. The 25-year-old faced early exits in recent Challenger events, including a three-set loss to Spanish veteran Albert Ramos-Vinolas in Menorca and a similar defeat against Sebastian Ofner in Madrid.

“I just need to find a way to convert my chances,” Harris said after his recent round of defeats. “Playing against top-tier players is always a challenge, but I’m ready to fight.”

On the other hand, Goffin is coming off a surprising three-set victory over world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz earlier this year, marking one of the biggest upsets of the season. Despite his promising performance against Alcaraz, Goffin fell in his subsequent match to Brandon Nakashima and struggled even more in the Monte-Carlo qualifiers, losing to Corentin Moutet despite winning the first set. Goffin managed to convert only 25% of his 20 break point opportunities in that match.

<p“Clay has been a tricky surface for me lately, but I understand what I need to do to win,” Goffin stated during a pre-match interview.

<pThe match promises to be an intriguing contest as both players seek to regain form. Goffin, who once reached the quarter-finals at Roland Garros in 2016, will aim to capitalize on Harris’ recent struggles.

According to analysts, Goffin is favored to win the match decisively. Predictions suggest he may close out the match in straight sets.
