THE PREDICTION

Qualifier Sebastian Korda has had a tournament to remember in what is his first appearance in the main draw at Roland-Garros. The 20-year-old has taken the scalps of Andreas Seppi and John Isner along the way and clearly has a bright future ahead of him, but he runs into a man on a mission here. 12-time champion Nadal has looked increasingly assured with each round and dismissed Stefano Travaglia 6-1, 6-4, 6-0 in the third round on Friday. The Spaniard’s serve and forehand appear to be in working order and it is difficult to imagine anything but the highest calibre of player troubling him on this surface. Korda is likely to be his toughest test to date and could be the first man to take a set off the King of Clay this year, but Nadal will ultimately overpower the promising youngster.
