Francisco Cerundolo vs. Sebastian Korda: Match Preview
The 25-year-old Argentine Francisco Cerundolo was expected to meet the Russian World No.3 Daniil Medvedev in the fourth round, but the American youngster Korda had different plans for the fortnight. Korda overcame an exhausted Russian in straight sets to set up a fourth-round encounter with the current World No.20. These two will battle against each other for the first time in their careers.
Cerundolo has had a decent tennis season in 2023, where he got the first Grand Slam win in the Australian Open. He also cracked the top 20 for the first time this year with a highest career ranking of 19. He also went on to win at least 2 matches in each of the Grand Slam events this year and was also included in the Laver Cup World team, and became the first Latin American to win a match there.
American 20-year-old Sebastian Korda has had his best year on tour this year with 2 ATP finals, his first appearance in a Grand Slam quarter-final, and finally getting a top-5 win day back here, when he defeated Medvedev. This is also the year in which he cracked the top 25 for the first time in his career. It was in June 2023 and now he stands one position less at number 26.
Francisco Cerundolo vs. Sebastian Korda: Match Prediction
Korda will have the mental advantage over Cerundolo for the fact that he has defeated Medvedev, the current US Open runner-up and one of the best players on the hard court. That being said, Cerundolo has the experience of dealing with matches like this where he seems to be an underdog irrespective of the rankings.
Prediction: Sebastian Korda to win in three sets
