THE PREDICTION

World number 63 Sebastian Korda looks to be finding his feet on clay this season at just the right moment and he beat an in-form Yoshihito Nishioka in straight sets on Thursday to back-up an excellent victory over first seed Lorenzo Sonego. The 20-year-old has a bright future indeed and looks to be the favourite for the title here in Parma now if he can overcome fellow American Tommy Paul for a second time. World number 55 Paul comfortably beat Jan-Lennard Struff on Thursday for his best performance in some time and he will be up for this encounter in a big way after losing to Korda from a set up at the Delray Beach Open earlier this season. Paul is possibly the more comfortable player on this surface right now but take Korda to overcome the 24-year-old once again with an outright win.
