Federer says Goffin has bright future

Swiss great claims young Belgian has what it takes to reach the stars

Roger Federer believes baby-faced David Goffin, who gave him an almighty French Open scare on Sunday, has the weapons to become a future Grand Slam contender.

Belgian world No 109 Goffin, just 21, and who had sneaked into the main draw at Roland Garros having lost in qualifying, had been just two points from taking a 2-0 lead over the 16-time Grand Slam title winner.
