October 10, 2019 -- Shanghai, China
Roger's Round of 16 match against David Goffin was not the easiest. The Swiss star had to save 5 set points to battle back in the first set, eventually taking it in a tiebreaker. While the second set was still close, Roger remained in control locking up the win 7-6 (7), 6-4.
"I never really felt like I had the upper hand over David today. I thought he did a really good job. He was so much better than at the US Open," said Roger.
He will face Alexander Zverev in the Quarterfinals.
