Very easy to forget about Goffin as no expert ever discusses him as a potential GS winner. Everyone just considers him lucky to be in the top ten but he continues to push beyond the limits put on him. He certainly is capable of shocking the world in Melbourne. Or Paris, London or US Open.

I agree about Goffin, and doubt any players are underestimating him, at this point. More likely a spoiler at the big tournaments, don't you think? But I find it hard to pick against him. What if it comes down to him and del Potro in week 2? (I need a tip for my draw challenge.) :)

Goffin vs Delpo is a very interesting match. Not sure if they have ever played, can't remember seeing them play each other or any scores. That's a 50-50 match but I would take Goffin right now.
