David Goffin wins dramatic comeback at European Open in Brussels

Belgian tennis player David Goffin secured a comeback victory against Remy Bertola at the European Open in Brussels, extending his professional career. The 35-year-old former world No. 7 defeated the Swiss lucky loser 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in a match that lasted over two hours.

Goffin, who previously announced his intention to retire at the end of the 2026 season, faced significant pressure during the match. After losing the first set and falling 0-3 behind in the deciding set, he managed to recover and secure a decisive break at 4-4 before serving out the match. This victory marks his first win in a main-tour event this season.

The win holds emotional weight for the home crowd, as Goffin is one of Belgium's most successful players of the Open Era, having achieved a career-high ranking of No. 7 and winning six ATP singles titles.
