Prediction
Dominic Thiem and Sebastian Korda will square off in the European Open semifinals on Saturday.
Thiem has recently put on some good performances and appears to be on track for a comeback after missing a substantial amount of action due to injuries. He defeated Michael Geerts 6-4, 6-0 in the opening round of the European Open.
Hubert Hurkacz, the top seed, faced the Austrian in the quarterfinals after the Austrian overcame Francisco Cerundolo, the fourth seed, 6-1, 1-6, 7-5. Hurkacz got out to a fast start, taking the opening set 6-3. But Thiem was unwilling to give up and fought bravely to save three match chances to win the second set 7-6. (9). The third set also required a tiebreak, which Thiem won 7-3 to go to his second successive semifinal.
On the other hand, the Gijon Open final loss to Andrey Rublev in straight sets saddened Korda. The American defeated fellow countryman Marcos Giron to win his first match at the European Open 6-3, 6-7(0), 6-4. In the Round of 16, he then faced fourth-seeded Karen Khachanov. The Russian took a 3-1 lead after breaking first in the opening set before being broken back by Korda. The American broke once more and then held on to win the match 7-5. After surviving four set points in the second set’s tiebreak, Korda prevailed 11-9 to move to the quarterfinals. He won this match 6-0, 6-2 over Yoshihito Nishioka to get to the European Open semifinals.
Due to the fact that both players are strong servers, there is a decent chance that we could see one or two tiebreaks. To win matches, Thiem will mainly rely on his one-handed backhand, which is among the best in the game. The Austrian plays with hostile strategy and cleverly constructs his cases. He has good defensive skills as well, which will be very helpful. Korda won 25 of 41 return points in his most recent match, but Thiem’s service game will make it very difficult for him to maintain this success. The American will act aggressively in an effort to put pressure on the Austrian.
