THE PREDICTION
World number 16 Borna Coric was still on the recovery run back from a year-long absence from tour this time last summer but he suddenly burst into form to claim the biggest title of his career in Cincinnati. The 26-year-old upset four top 10 players en-route, including Rafael Nadal and Felix Auger-Aliassime, before an assured performance against Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final. The Croat should receive a kinder draw this time around but also a target on his back as the defending champion and this is a serious start against world number 30 Sebastian Korda. 23-year-old Korda has looked at the peak of his powers and bereft of form in parts of this season but the American came close to making the round of 16 in a three-set defeat to Aleksandar Vukic in Toronto last week. A first meeting between the two should be a fascinating, high-quality encounter but backing Coric to earn at least a set with something to defend seems the sensible move considering Korda’s recent form.
