Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Handicap (-4) for Korda – 1.75.
If the American has no health problems, he will easily reach the next round. Gaston looks weak against such opponents so far. In addition, Korda took the Challenger title this year in France and looked good at the ATP level at times. In Paris, he even beat Karatsev and Cilic. He also was able to win a set in the match against Daniil Medvedev. Sebastian should have no problem defeating Gaston.
Gaston did well at the Challenger in Rennes last week, reaching the semi-finals.
In the quarter-finals, Hugo defeated Benoit Paire (6-3, 6-1). The Frenchman was then challenged by Dominic Thiem (2-6, 5-7). Gaston was poor in the first set, then played much better in the second, but still could not take the match to the third set.
At the US Open, Hugo lost straight away to Alexandr Bublik.
In Montreal and Winston-Salem, Gaston was also eliminated in the first round, while in Cincinnati he failed to overcome qualification.
In general, at the ATP level, Gaston cannot yet boast any success.
Gaston has lost in five of his last six matches at the ATP 250 level.
Korda, meanwhile, has not been very successful lately either.
At the US Open, Sebastian made it through the first round but already lost in the next match to Tommy Paul (0-6, 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6).
In Cincinnati, Korda beat Karen Khachanov and Francis Tiafoe before losing in the third round to John Isner.
It is also worth noting that Korda reached the quarter-finals in Washington, beating Ilya Ivashka, Sebastian Baez and Grigor Dimitrov.
In the summer, Korda had some foot problems for a while and he even had to miss some tournaments. Now he seems to be feeling better.
Korda has won 14 of his 15 career indoor hard-court meetings as a favourite.
