Sebastian Korda vs Mackenzie McDonald prediction 

Sebastian Korda comes into this one on the back of a good showing at the ATP 500 Dallas Open event last week as they succumbed to a three-set defeat to Taylor Fritz in the quarter-finals, with that loss coming after impressive straight set victories against Michael Zheng and then Frances Tiafoe.

Mackenzie McDonald is the world number 110 and is some way off the player he was a couple of years ago. McDonald has endured a tough year and even when he got a stroke of luck as a Lucky Loser in the Australian Open last month, he then suffered a 6-2, 6-2, 6-3 loss to Alex de Minaur in the first round at the Rod Laver Arena.

Korda’s ranking of number 53, in comparison to his opponents’ rating, is a fair suggestion of how this one could and should go with Korda the firm favourites.
