Melbourne: Defending champ David Goffin put another dent in Bernard Tomic's Australian Open preparations yesterday when he sent the local hope packing 6-2, 6-4 at the Kooyong Classic. The win handed the Belgian World No. 11 a place in Friday's final against Croat Ivo Karlovic and extends Tomic's winless streak, which stretches back to September. "It was not easy, the wind was tricky and against Bernie with his game," Goffin said. "It was a good match, conditions were fast and windy so I was really happy with how I managed," Goffin said.
