THE PREDICTION
21-year-old Sebastian Korda won all three of his Group B round robin matches with a straight-sets dismissal of Lorenzo Musetti on Thursday particularly impressive. The world number 39 is set for a huge 2022 after an already excellent season this year, with a first ATP title won at the Emilia-Romagna Open and second week reached at Wimbledon. This will be a hugely entertaining first meeting between two young Americans likely to battle it out at the top of the sport in the next few seasons, with 20-year-old Brandon Nakashima also enjoying an excellent breakthrough year. The current world number 63 should find it no trouble breaking the top 50 early next season after reaching two ATP finals this season at the Los Cabos Open and Atlanta Open. His defeat to Carlos Alcaraz in three sets made coming back from a set down to beat Holger Rune on Thursday essential but he should be all the more up for this semi-final after scraping through.
At this moment in time, Korda is a level above his compatriot but it seems likely that Nakashima can take at least a set here. The cautious option is a Korda outright win, with both to take a set in a Korda win the slightly riskier move.
