The top two seeds have made it through to the final of the South of France Open. World number 13 Roberto Bautista Agut takes on David Goffin who is just two places below him in the latest list. Agut has made up this week for a poor start to 2021. He made it to the last four of the ATP Cup but wasn't that influential in the team tournament as he only won one of his three matches. The two he lost were against top ten players Stefanos Tsitsipas and Matteo Berrettini. It didn't get much better for him in the Australian Open as he lost in the first round to Radu Albot. It's  been much better this week though with three straight sets wins and only 15 games lost.

David Goffin also hasn't had that a convincing start to the new year. He did reach the last four in Antalya but beat lower ranked players before losing to Alex de Minaur. He had a disappointing time in Australia losing in his first match at the warm-up tournament in Melbourne and then the first round of the Australian Open. Both losses were inflicted by players who at the time were outside the top 100. Goffin had problems in his first match in this tournament. He had to come from a set down to get past wild card Benjamin Bonzi. A straight sets win over seventh seed Lorenzo Sonego followed before another tough match in the semi-final. Goffin had to go to three sets to defeat unseeded Egor Garisamov. He doesn't look to be in as good form this week as Agut, go for the Spaniard to win this final.
