Sebastian Korda vs Kamil Majchrzak Preview

Sebastian Korda is the 11th seed at the Winston-Salem Open and played his first match since the French Open in May, where he lost to Frances Tiafoe in the third round. Korda missed the whole of the grass-court swing and key tournaments on hard courts like Montreal and Cincinnati because of a stress fracture in his shin. The American World No. 86 is now fully fit and opened his account this week with a creditable straight sets win.

Korda defeated Vit Kopriva 6-3, 6-4 in an hour and 24 minutes. Korda lost his early advantage, having led 4-1 in the first set, giving back the break, but broke Kopriva for a second time and served the next game to 15 to win the set. Korda broke Kopriva in the seventh game of the second time and then saved a couple of break back points to hold for 5-3. Korda needed three match points to seal victory.

Korda finished the match with 20 winners to 33 unforced errors. He served 10 aces in total and only one double fault. Korda landed 57% of first serves in play and won 79% of first serve points (27/34). He won 54% of second serve points (14/26) and saved three of four break points. Korda improves to 7-4 on hard courts this season.

Kamil Majchrzak is competing in his second Winston-Salem Open, and the Pole won two matches to reach the last 16. In the first round, Majchrzak defeated Nicolas Jarry 7-6, 6-4 to pick from his recent title win at the Challenger level on home soil. Then, he upset Nuno Borges in straight sets in the second round, dropping just four games. Majchrzak needed just 68 minutes to race to victory.

Majchrzak hit 16 winners to 15 unforced errors against the Portuguese No. 1. That included six aces and one double fault. Majchrzak landed 63% of first serves in play and won 77% of first serve points (23/30). Majchrzak won 61% of second serve points (11/18) and saved all three break points he faced in the match. Majchrzak is on a seven-match winning streak on hard courts and has won 15 of 18 matches on the surface this season.

Sebastian Korda vs Kamil Majchrzak Prediction

In his first match after a three-month hiatus, Korda looked very good in dismissing Kopriva in straight sets, but I expect Majchrzak to test him a lot. The Pole has serious momentum and is full of confidence after his recent title win at the Challenger level. Majchrzak can flatten his shots and play with aggression off both wings, which he needs to against a player of Korda’s ability. We’ll likely get three sets here, and it all depends on Korda’s fitness levels if he is to win it, playing a long match after his lengthy absence.
