THE PREDICTION

World number 33 Sebastian Korda snapped a two-match losing streak with a blistering victory over Pavel Kotov on Monday, although those previous two defeats came against top opposition in Grigor Dimitrov and Alex de Minaur. The 23-year-old has struggled to get his season going so far in 2024, despite reaching the semi-finals at the Adelaide International in January, but this looks an excellent opportunity against world number 75 Botic van de Zandschulp, who upset in-form Adrian Mannarino on Monday for a much-needed win. 28-year-old Van de Zandschulp may never get back to the player that set a career-high ATP world ranking of 22nd but the Dutchman should be able to recover significantly from what has been a poor past 12 months on tour. Van de Zandschulp actually leads this head-to-head 2-1 but Korda’s level should be considerably higher in this fourth encounter. Back the enigmatic American to win.

TIP: SEBASTIAN KORDA TO WIN
