Goffin said momentum swung in the second set.

"The second set was definitely the key. It was a tough first set," the 26-year-old said.

"I continued and kept fighting. Served really well. And I made some good returns in the tiebreak.

"I continued to push, push myself in the rallies and I got better and better, game after game."

The world No.11's reward is a top-10 ranking for the first time when the next ATP rankings are released, and progression to a clash with Grigor Dimitrov.
