THE PREDICTION
World number 87 is coming of age in tennis terms before our eyes at his native Masters here in Miami after the 20-year-old reached the quarter-finals on debut. 20-year-old Korda has played impressively all fortnight but his mentality looks to be his trump card right now as he seems unflappable in these conditions where so many players have struggled. The American beat fifth-seed Diego Schwartzman over three sets on Tuesday and will face world number eight Andrey Rublev for a first time in fascinating circumstances next. 23-year-old Rublev remains one of the toughest players to play on tour right now after his third straight-sets victory here in a row when he beat Marin Cilic late on Tuesday and the Russian’s only real threats are the first and second seeds Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas. However, the way in which Korda has taken out the likes of Schwartzman, in-form Aslan Karatsev and Fabio Fognini this fortnight suggest there is a rare deciding set in a match involving Rublev here. No matter how good Korda has been, though, this looks like the end of the line as Rublev should be able to explode at the key moments and come through in three sets.
