Alex de Minaur, seeded fifth, will take on Sebastian Korda in the opening round of the 2024 Rotterdam Open on Tuesday. The SportsRush’s Alex de Minaur vs Sebastian Korda prediction is that the Australian will win in three sets.
Korda is coming off a disappointing Open 13 Provence campaign while De Minaur has not played an official ATP match since the Australian Open. However, the Aussie has displayed great form and consistency in 2024, playing some of his best tennis. He has collected multiple wins over players in the top 10. Korda, meanwhile, has been patchy this year, struggling against higher-ranked names. Hence, the World No.33 will likely not match up to World No.11 De Minaur.
Korda’s powerful serves, strong forehands, and all-out attacking game will, however, pose a threat. While De Minaur is a favourite to win, it won’t be a walk in the park for him. The winner of this tie will face David Goffin in the second round.
