David Goffin’s Tennis Racquet

David Goffin’s tennis racquet is a Wilson Blade 98 18/20 V9. He endorses the latest generation of Blade 98, but is probably playing something like the V3 or V4. He strings it with Luxilon Alu Power in the mains and natural gut in the crosses. Some players are moving away from the dense pattern, relatively low-powered Blade, but Goffin proved that the silo is still strong enough to beat Carlos Alcaraz, which he did in their Miami Open 2025 encounter.

If you know the specifications of Goffin’s racquet, please let us know in the comments. Over the years he has tried different string setups like gut hybrids, adding weights, changing the string pattern to 16/19.

The last reported specs I have seen was in a Talk Tennis forum thread with the following specs:

Unstrung specs (with overgrip) 310 gram, 300SW, Balance 32.5. But this might have changed a bit since 2019.

Bio and Career

David Goffin was born on December 7nd, 1990, in Rocourt, Liège, Belgium and he started playing tennis at age 6 with his father.

Goffin turned pro in 2009 but got his breakthrough in 2012, when he reached the French Open fourth round as a lucky loser, the first to do so since 1995, beating then no 23 Bernard Tomic before going out to Roger Federer. His first ATP title came in 2014 at Kitzbühel (on clay), defeating Dominic Thiem, sparking a good run for the Belgian, including a win at the ATP Metz.

With six career ATP singles titles, his biggest wins include the 2017 Japan Open (a 500-level title over Adrian Mannarino) and the 2022 Marrakech Open. In 2025, he reached the Indian Wells fourth round, beating Frances Tiafoe and in the following Miami Open, he caused a big upset beating world no 3 Carlos Alcaraz.

Grand Slam highlights include quarterfinal runs at the 2016 and 2017 French Opens and the 2019 Wimbledon Championships, where he beat Daniil Medvedev but fell to Novak Djokovic.

Goffin’s career peak came in 2017, reaching the ATP Finals championship match (losing to Grigor Dimitrov) after defeating Federer and Rafael Nadal, his only Top 5 wins at the time.

With 349 career victories and over $18 million in prize money, he’s Belgium’s most successful male player, having led the nation to Davis Cup finals in 2015 and 2017.
