David Goffin vs Rinky Hijikata Prediction

It has been a tough start to the year for veteran David Goffin as the Belgian is playing in his sixth tournament in 2025 and is still looking for his first singles win.

One of his losses came against his opponent in Mexico as Rinky Hijikata beat him 6-1 6-2 in the first round at the start of January in Adelaide.

Hijikata has not overly fared much better so far this year winning three of his eight matches but he will fancy his chances of beating the struggling 34-year-old. The Australian dominated him in their last meeting and he has to be favoured to get the victory once again here.
