THE PREDICTION
This match will mean a little bit more for world number 33 Sebastian Korda as it was against Karen Khachanov that he suffered a serious injury to crash out of the quarter-finals of the Australian Open in January, his best run so far. The 23-year-old has struggled to rediscover his searing early form since returning to tour in late April but this will be a fascinating litmus test for his progress as he came back from injury with clear modifications made to his now much more muscular frame. World number 15 Khachanov has also returned from his own long injury absence in recent weeks and dropping a set to Mackenzie McDonald in a comeback win on Sunday says there is fragility to expose in this match for both players. The pair share a 2-2 head-to-head record with Korda, notably, winning both of their encounters in three-set formats and Khachanov claiming their two Grand Slam matches including that mammoth first meeting at Wimbledon two years ago. Korda has taken at least a set in three of their four matches to offer a suitable alternative to picking a winner here but Khachanov should be edging through to the final.
