Korda is playing his second tournament in October. A week ago in Gijon, the American reached the final, beating Andrei Rublev 2-6, 3-6. By the way, the Spanish final was Korda's first of the year and the fourth of his career. So far, Sebastian is 1-3 with only one win in the final at Parma in 2021 and losses to Gurkach at Delray Beach and Alcaraz at Next Gen. Sebastian played four matches in Antwerp, knocking out Giron, Khachanov, Nishioka, and Tim. The semifinal match against the Austrian lasted under three hours; the guys played two tie-breaks, including in the deciding set. Sebastian made 11 aces and three doubles, winning 73% of his first-serve points and 50% of his second-serve points. On the receiving end, Korda had the following stats: 33%/48%, 50/28 of winners/unforced errors.
Felix Auger-Aliassime
The Canadian came to Belgium with the title from Florence, which, incidentally, allowed Felix to return to the top 10 ATP ranking. In the final of the Italian competition Auger-Aliassime beat American Wolf in two sets. Unlike Korda, he has positive finals statistics. Only in 2022 the Canadian took part in four decisive matches, losing only to Rublev in Marseilles, beating Tsitsipas in Rotterdam and Bautista Agut in Sydney. In addition, Felix is fighting for a place in the Finals. Four have already qualified, four more spots are up for grabs, and so far the Canadian is third in line behind Medvedev and Rublev. So Auger-Aliassime will not give up additional points for sure. At the tournament in Antwerp the Canadian played three matches and lost only one set to Evans, knocking Gasquet and Guinard out of the draw.
Expert Betting Tips
Auger-Aliassime is the favorite of the upcoming game. The Canadian is very dangerous on the court, especially on the indoors. For example, in the match against Gasquet Felix made 22 aces! Additionally, he is motivated to fight for the final tournament. And in terms of experience of playing in the Finals the appreciable advantage is on Felix's side. We predict the Canadian to win, and we doubt Sebastian Korda will take at least one game.
