He was born in [[Rocourt, Liège|Rocourt]], [[Liège]], Belgium. His breakthrough came when he reached the fourth round of the [[2012 French Open]] as a lucky loser, eventually losing to [[Roger Federer]] in four sets.<ref name="DailyMailJune2012">[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-2154089/French-Open-2012-Roger-Federer-beats-David-Goffin.html "Federer sees off 'lucky loser' Goffin in four sets to reach quarter finals"], ''The Daily Mail'', 3 June 2012.</ref> Goffin has defeated several higher-ranked players such as [[John Isner]], [[Radek Štěpánek]], [[Viktor Troicki]], [[Milos Raonic]] and [[Jo Wilfried Tsonga]]. He is the Belgian number 1 male tennis player as of end of 2015. ==Career== ===Juniors=== As a junior he compiled a singles win/loss record of 76–40, reaching as high as No. 10 in the junior combined world rankings in July 2008. He took part in only two junior slams, losing in the second round of the [[French Open]] and the first round of [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]] in 2008. ===2011=== Goffin won his first match on the ATP tour at the [[2011 Aircel Chennai Open – Singles|2011 Chennai open]], defeating India's No. 1, [[Somdev Devvarman]]. He lost in the second round to [[Stanislas Wawrinka]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Goffin biography at ITF |url= |work=tennis player |date= }}</ref> ===2012: Breakthrough=== In 2012, he reached the quarterfinals of an ATP World Tour tournament for the first time at the [[2012 Aircel Chennai Open – Singles|2012 Chennai Open]], after defeating top-50 countryman [[Xavier Malisse]] and [[Andreas Beck (tennis)|Andreas Beck]]. At the [[French Open 2012]], though he did not win in the last qualifying round of the qualifications, he entered the tournament's main draw as a [[lucky loser]] thanks to the withdrawal of [[Gaël Monfils]]. In his first round, he faced world no. 27 and 23rd seed for men's singles [[Radek Štěpánek]] and beat him in five sets.<ref>{{cite web|last=Hanford|first=Ian|title=French Open 2012 Scores: Shocking Results from Roland Garros' First 2 Days|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1199599-french-open-2012-scores-shocking-results-from-roland-garros-first-two-days|work=[[Bleacher Report]]|accessdate=30 May 2012|date=29 May 2012}}</ref> The second round saw Goffin take on French veteran player [[Arnaud Clément]] (who was playing his last French Open) whom he beat in five sets in a match postponed due to rain at a score of 5–1 the previous day.

Then, in the secound round, he beat [[Jesse Levine]] to advance to the third round, where he ultimately lost to the resurgent 10th seed [[Mardy Fish]]. At the [[2012 US Open – Men's Singles|US Open]], he entered the main draw, but lost in the first round to world no. 7, sixth seed, and eventually semifinalist at the tournament [[Tomáš Berdych]]. He then won two singles matches to secure Belgium a place in the 2013 Davis Cup World Group. ===2013=== Goffin started the season by making his debut at the [[2013 Brisbane International]]. He defeated wildcard (and crowd favourite) [[Matthew Ebden]], before losing to seventh seed [[Jürgen Melzer]] in the second round. In the first round of the [[French Open]] he had to face current number 1, [[Novak Djokovic]]. He proved a challenge for Djokovic, but lost the match in straight sets. Goffin's performance as well as Djokovic's laboured efforts in defeating him was the subject of brief attention to the quality of Goffin's playing. Goffin made it to the third round in Cincinnati, where he was again defeated by Djokovic. He qualified in Winston-Salem and defeated [[Jack Sock]] in the first round, but lost to [[Dmitry Tursunov]] in the second round. He did not play any further tournaments in 2013 after the US Open, where he lost in the first round to [[Alexandr Dolgopolov]]. ===2014-2015: First career titles, breaking into the top 30=== [[File:David Goffin Winston Salem Open 2014.JPG|thumb|David Goffin at the 2014 Winston-Salem Open]] Goffin had to retire in his second-round match at the Challenger event in New Caledonia, and he withdrew from qualifying for the Australian Open due to a left quadriceps injury. From July to August, following his opening round loss at [[2014 Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon]] to defending champion [[Andy Murray]], Goffin won four consecutive tournaments. The first three of which were Challengers, but the fourth was his maiden ATP tour-level title when he won the [[Austrian Open Kitzbühel]], beating [[Dominic Thiem]] in the final. During this run, Goffin won 40 out of the 42 sets he played and won 20 consecutive matches. In September, after reaching the third round of the [[2014 US Open (tennis)|US Open]] for the first time, he won his second career ATP title, the [[Moselle Open]] in Metz, France, beating higher seeded players [[Jo-Wilfried Tsonga]] in the quarterfinals and [[João Sousa]] in the final. His run from July to September launched him over 75 places up the rankings, putting him into the world's top 40 for the first time in his career. At the [[2014 Swiss Indoors|Swiss Indoors]] in Basel, he advanced to his first ATP 500 tournament final, beating [[Milos Raonic]] in the quarterfinals, his first win over a top-10 player. He lost the final to five-time champion [[Roger Federer]] in straight sets, however his run to the final propelled him to a career high ranking of number 22 in the world, a ranking with which he would finish the 2014 season. After having started the year ranked 111th in the world, Goffin ended the season ranked just outside the top 20, a difference of 89 places, and as a result he was awarded the [[ATP World Tour Awards#Comeback Player of the Year|Comeback Player of the Year]] award by the ATP for 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2014/Moet-ATP-Awards/2014-ATP-Awards-Winners.aspx|title=2014 ATP WORLD TOUR AWARDS WINNERS ANNOUNCED|accessdate=14 January 2015}}</ref> 2015 saw Goffin have continued success, reaching two more ATP finals and breaking into the world's top 20 as well as decent runs in the major tournaments. His season was highlighted by being the driving force in the Belgium Davis Cup team's surprise run to the final, which they eventually lost to Great Britain, Goffin being defeated by [[Andy Murray]] in the decisive fourth rubber. ===2016: 4th round at Australia, first career Masters 1000 semifinal=== He reached fourth round for the first time at [[2016 Australian Open – Men's Singles|2016 Australian Open]], where he lost to [[Roger Federer]] in straights sets. In March at [[2016 BNP Paribas Open – Men's Singles|Indian Wells]] he reached his first [[ATP World Tour Masters 1000|Masters 1000]] semifinal where he faced and lost to [[Milos Raonic]] for a place in the final. Also in March, Goffin reached the quarterfinals of the Miami Open. In doing this he became the first Belgian player to reach this stage in tournament history. He eventually went on to beat Gilles Simon in three sets and advanced to the semifinals, eventually losing to world number 1 Novak Djokovic. ==ATP career finals== ===Singles: 5 (2 titles, 3
