Roger Federer's Championship Experience Will Overwhelm Young David Goffin

After a couple of early-round matches that tested Roger Federer's nerves and skill, his fourth-round matchup against young David Goffin should be a bit of a breather for the former French Open champion.

Federer struggled to overcome his last two opponents, Adrian Ungur and Nicolas Mahut, who took him to four sets apiece. He hasn't been playing his best tennis lately, but his experience, skill and nerves have ultimately given him the edge to overcome those early tests.

Both men were veterans on the ATP World Tour, but Goffin is a relative newcomer who has won a total of seven matches in his entire career, according to RolandGarros.com.

He won't stand a chance against Federer and his championship experience.

Just for giggles, here is a chart that shows just how vast the gap is between Federer and Goffin.

	Federer	Goffin
Career Matches Won	838	7
Career Matches Lost	190	7
High Rank for Singles	1	107
Career Earnings	$70,658,944 USD	$196,666 USD
Career Grand Slams	16	0

I think I've made my point. 

Federer should be able to cruise on to the fifth round of the 2012 French Open. Goffin could have the match of his life, but Fed has more ability and experience in his pinkie finger than him and will easily take this match.

It will be nice for the old man (kidding) to be able to get an easy win, but Federer won't be able to rest for long. His next opponent will either be ninth-seeded Juan Martin Del Potro or seventh-seeded Tomas Berdych—both of whom will provide a stiff test for Federer.
