The two men met in Estoril this season and Korda won the match in two sets. We expect that in the upcoming match too, Korda will win. Sebastian is now in good form and he passed much more serious opponents than Auger Aliassime in Antwerp.
The tennis players have met each other twice before and both of those matches ended in two sets. We expect the upcoming match to be fast as well. Korda looks like the best option in this pairing.
Korda reached the final at his second consecutive tournament. Last week, he lost to Andrey Rublev in a decisive match in Gijon (2-6, 3-6).
Remarkably, Sebastian has won 11 of his 14 matches since the US Open.
On Saturday, Korda earned a strong win over Dominic Thiem (7-6, 6-3, 7-6). Korda defeated Thiem on the tie-break of the third set, which left the experienced player visibly more nervous.
Korda’s winning streak now stands at nine matches. He has won 11 of his 14 indoor matches this year.
Korda has faced the top 10 nine times in the past and has two wins.
Auger Aliassime, meanwhile, reached the final for the 12th time in his career. Last week, he took the title in Florence.
In the semi-finals, Felix had an incredibly difficult match against Richard Gasquet (7-6, 7-6). Felix defeated Gasquet on two tie-breaks.
Auger Aliassime made no secret that Gasquet’s game was a revelation for him. Remarkably, both tennis players never once relinquished their serves, with Felix not having a single tie-break.
Auger Aliassime already has 16 wins in 19 indoor matches this season.
Auger Aliassime has now won seven straight, four of them in two sets.
In 3 of the last 5 Auger Aliassime’s matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.555.
