Goffin Leads Home Hopes, Murray Debuts In Antwerp; When Is The Draw & More

David Goffin, Gael Monfils and Andy Murray headline the field at the fourth edition of the European Open, an ATP 250 tournament in Antwerp. Goffin, who enters his home country tournament at No. 10 in the ATP Race To London, will be looking to improve upon his semi-final run at the inaugural edition (l. to Schwartzman). 

Last year in Antwerp, Monfils came up just short of becoming the third straight French champion, falling to Great Britain’s Kyle Edmund in a third-set tie-break in the final. The first two winners, Richard Gasquet (2016) and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (2017), and 2016-17 finalist Diego Schwartzman also return in 2019.

Former World No. 1 Murray earned the first tour-level wins of his comeback during the Asian swing, including a quarter-final finish at the China Open, and will aim to carry that momentum into his tournament debut.
