Hubert Hurkacz has not been in good form recently having lost three of the last five matches he has played. He will look to bounce back in style by picking up a win against his much-depleted opponent and building confidence that he has been lacking. He lost against Coric in the Vienna Open after winning the first two matches against Ruusuvuori and Tiafie. He lost to Thiem in the quarter-final round of the European Open after winning the first match against Draper. In the Paris Masters, he lost to Rune in the round of 32 after the first-round win against Mannarino. In the ongoing tournament, he beat Rune in the first round, Sonego in the second round, and Shapovalov in the third round.
Sebastian Korda has been in splendid form recently and looked really brilliant in the last tournament, the Adelaide International 1. He has made it to the later stages of every major tournament he has played in the last couple of months. He lost to Novak Djokovic in the finals of the Adelaide International 1 after beating the likes of Nishioka, Sinner, Bautista Agut, and Andy Murray on the way. In the Paris Masters, he got knocked out right in the first match to De Minaur. In the first round match of the Australian Open against Garin, he beat him comfortably over the 4 sets, and then in the next match, he faced Watanuki and beat him by straight sets. He shocked the tennis world when he beat the tournament favorite Danii Medvedev on straight sets.
