Sebastian Korda vs Alex de Minaur prediction
Seb Korda will need to solve his Alex de Minaur conundrum to reach the third round at Indian Wells.
The American hasn’t beaten the Aussie since their maiden meeting in 2021 and has lost the last three, picking up just one set along the way.
That said, the world number 37 is making some serious moves at the moment and is on a seven-match winning streak after following his title at Delray Beach with a 7-5 6-0 success over Francisco Comesana.
It sets up what should be a high-quality encounter with Demon also in excellent form after landing the title in Rotterdam.
The dangers are obvious for Korda given that his weapons may not make the same impact on a slower court, allowing the speed and guile of de Minaur to be a major factor in the contest.
The psychology of the head-to-head means Alex is the obvious pick, but there’s something about Korda at the moment and if you are looking for a match to take a punt on an underdog for greater reward from the risk, then this could be the one.
