THE PREDICTION
21-year-old Sebastian Korda set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 30th this week after an excellent run to the semi-finals of the Estoril Open was ended abruptly by Frances Tiafoe in three sets. The American beat the top seed Felix Auger-Aliassime in the quarter-finals last week and he stunned Carlos Alcaraz at the Monte-Carlo Open earlier last month on a clay surface that suits his well-balanced game. A first meeting with world number 17 Reilly Opelka will be fascinating here with the Madrid Open’s unique conditions likely to play a big part. 24-year-old Opelka won the fourth ATP title of his career, and second this year, at the Houston Open last month on clay and the high altitude in Madrid will favour his powerful groundstrokes and near-unstoppable first serve. Opelka reached the semi-finals of the Italian Open this time last year by relying on that serve negating the clay’s stopping power and it is likely to see him win at least a set here. Take that option to leave the winner up to chance here in a match that should see three sets and at least a tiebreak.
