Young guns Thiem and Goffin advance in style

No problems for Dominic Thiem and David Goffin as both advance to the US Open 2nd round in straight sets.

Thiem

Dominic had another mature performance to beat world no.84 Lukas Lacko 6-3 6-3 6-2. The young Austrian broke Lucas 5 times without conceding a single service game.

Dominic will play Gulbis in the next round. Head to head is 1-0 for Ernests that will have to face a tough battle to get to the 3rd round.

Goffin

David is having an incredible summer. The Belgian has won 4 consecutive tournaments and his tennis is getting more and more solid. Goffin didn’t have any problem to dismiss fellow compatriot Niels Desein 6-1 6-3 6-3.

Goffin will play Joao Sousa in the second round. Head to head is 1-0 for the Portuguese, but Goffin should be the favorite to reach the 3rd round.
