Korda has been playing better lately. De Minaur is unimpressive in his performance. Moreover, in the only head-to-head encounter, it was Korda who won.
In the face-to-face encounter, the tennis players traded winning sets. It is likely that history will repeat itself. After all, neither of these players has any particular advantage over his opponent.
Korda is approaching the last Masters of the season in fine form. He has reached the final at his previous tournaments. First, he did so in Gijon and then repeated the achievement in Antwerp.
Sebastian has only played in Paris once. Last season, he made it two rounds here. Korda then took on Aslan Karatsev and Marin Cilic. However, he was stopped in the 1/8 final by Daniil Medvedev.
Korda has made it to the second round in the last seven tournaments.
De Minaur has never successfully competed in Paris. He has been to the competition four times but has never made it past the 1/8 finals. It will not be easy to improve on his performance.
Most recently, Alex did well at a tournament in Stockholm. He then got to the semi-finals where he lost to Holger Rune (6-4, 6-7, 5-7). A few days later, he lost again to Holger Rune. This time De Minaur was defeated in Basel.
De Minaur has lost five of the last six meetings as an underdog.
