Sebastian Korda vs Taylor Fritz prediction
Taylor Fritz meets Sebastian Korda in an all-American showdown for a place in the last four in Tokyo.
Second seed, Fritz came up trumps in the key moments as he edged Nuno Borges 7-5 7-6 while Korda romped to a 6-1 6-4 success over home hope Sho Shimabukuro.
This will be a fourth encounter between the pair with Fritz leading 2-1, although Korda did win their most recent clash in Canada last year, which is notably their only meeting on a hardcourt to-date.
Korda is continuing his push to rise back up the rankings following injury so the world number 74 may see this as a pressure-free opportunity to take on the USA's top dog.
That may well bring out the best in him and make this a dangerous match for Fritz.
That said, the world number five tends to enjoy putting compatriots in their place and will want to set the record straight on a hardcourt too.
Sebastian Korda vs Taylor Fritz tip: Over 2.5 sets
