Korda will be competing at his home tournament. He will have the support of the stands. In addition, after a busy week, Ivashka risks not showing his best tennis. After all, the competition in Atlanta took a lot out of him.
Two years ago, Korda confidently beat Ivashka. That match ended in two sets. Given the fact that Ilya had a busy last week, it is unlikely that he will have enough energy to face Korda.
Korda had a very poor showing in Atlanta last week. In the first match, he lost to Taro Daniel (6-1, 1-6, 3-6).
As easy as Sebastian took the first set against aro, he was just as bad in the next two sets.
Since Roland Garros, where he reached the third round, Korda has played just four matches.
In June, he performed poorly in Halle and Eastbourne, shortly after which he announced he would not be able to play at Wimbledon because of shin and foot problems. It is not yet very clear whether he has fully recovered from his physical discomfort.
Korda has won four of his last seven home fixtures.
Ivashka, meanwhile, must be pleased with his performance in Atlanta. She reached the semi-finals.
Last Saturday, Ilya lost to Alex De Minaur (7-5, 2-6, 2-6) despite taking the first set.
Before that, Ivashka had also beaten Quentin Halys (6-0, 3-6, 6-3), Steve Johnson (4-6, 6-2, 6-4) and Tommy Paul (6-2, 3-6, 6-1).
This was the first time in the season that Ivashka was able to win three consecutive matches.
Ivashka has lost four of his previous six matches on the Washington courts.
In 4 of Ivashka’s last 6 matches, more than 9 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.56.
