Thiem was constantly challenging the big 3 before the disaster happened in the form of a wrist injury during the Mallorca championships last year. He had to withdraw from 4 of the 6 grand slams post that. He came back for the clay season this year but was not able to make any marks.

The Grand slam tournaments he played this year ended in first-round losses in both the French Open and US open. Despite the poor run in grand slam matches, he was able to reach the finals of Rennes Challenger 2022 when he eventually lost in straight sets to French World No.106 Ugo Humbert.

Though he lost in 2nd round in the Metz open and Tel Aviv open after that, the current World No.132 was able to reach the semi-finals of the Gijon Open last week where he lost to Russian World No.8 Andrey Rublev. But the ongoing tournament is his best performance after the injury comeback and the Quarter-final win against the Polish world No.11 Hubert Hurkacz after saving 3 match points will boost his confidence.

22-year-old Korda is slowly making progress to the top of the world. Though he is yet to win an ATP title this year, he has managed to reach a career-high ranking of 30 in May this year. With the injury that occurred during the grass season, he has gone down again in the rankings after May. He also hasn’t gone past Round 3 in any of the grand slam tournaments played this season.

Korda’s win-loss record is 33-20 this season. He was able to win 1 out of the 4 top-10 matches played this year. One was a close loss to the Greatest Of All Time after going up 5-2 in the third set during the second-round match in Indian Wells Masters 1000. He was also able to reach the final of the Gijon Open last week where lost in straight sets to Andrey Rublev.

The American is coming to this match with a lot of confidence gained after beating the Russian World No.18 Karen Khachanov in straight sets the previous round but this upset was overshadowed by the Austrian’s master class over Hurkacz on the same day. This is their first encounter ever and is expected to be a thriller.

Prediction: Dominic Thiem is to win in 3 sets.
