Tiafoe has been performing much better than Korda lately. Frances’ victories over Matteo Berrettini and Botic Van De Zandschulp confirm this. It is possible that Tiafoe will overpower Sebastian. After all, he has beaten Korda three times already.
2 out of 3 head-to-head meetings between Tiafoe and Korda ended in three sets. It’s likely that history will repeat itself. Both players are playing in a home tournament, so they won’t feel sorry for themselves.
Tiafoe has always performed well on the hard, but this season he has not been impressive. He has won, but no titles. Frances played in the final of the Estoril competition but lost to Sebastian Baez (3-6, 2-6).
Despite all the setbacks, Tiafoe won his first-round match in Cincinnati. His opponent was Matteo Berrettini (7-6, 4-6, 7-6). Frances paid no attention to his opponent’s status and beat him in three sets.
Tiafoe’s last five matches have ended in three sets.
Korda’s only successful tournament this season has been at Estoril. In Portugal, he reached the semi-finals. At the other tournaments, Sebastian was unimpressive. Except for Washington, he reached the quarter-finals. After beating Ilya Ivashka (6-4, 7-6), Grigor Dimitrov (4-6, 6-1, 6-2) and Sebastian Baez (6-2, 6-4), he lost to Mikael Ymer (2-6, 7-5, 3-6).
