Cameron Norrie vs Sebastian Korda preview
Top seed Cameron Norrie will face off against home favorite Sebastian Korda in an exciting quarterfinal clash at the 2022 Delray Beach Open on Friday.
Trending
After a first-round bye, Norrie defeated Oscar Otte 6-3, 7-5 in the second round to advance to his second straight quarterfinal. He made the last eight at last week's Rotterdam Open, where he lost to eventual winner Felix Auger-Aliassime in two tight sets.
Norrie has turned his season around after a terrible start. He lost all three of his group stage matches in the ATP Cup and was later knocked out of the Australian Open in the first round. The Brit has finally found some rhythm after a disappointing campaign Down Under and will look to build upon his recent success.
Sebastian Korda secured a 7-5, 6-3 win over veteran Andreas Seppi to progress to his first quarterfinal of the year. The Italian served for the opening set at 5-4, but the 21-year-old won the next three games to clinch the opener.
Korda went up an early break in the second set and held on to that lead until the end of the match. He had some trouble closing out the proceedings, though. The American had to save a break point and needed four match points of his own to win the contest.
The American defeated Thanasi Kokkinakis in the first round.
Korda is participating in only his second tournament this season. He previously competed at the Australian Open, where he lost in the third round. A finalist in Delray Beach last year, he'll be aiming to go all the way this time around.
Cameron Norrie vs Sebastian Korda head-to-head
The two have faced off twice before, with Korda leading 2-0 in the head-to-head. He won their most recent encounter at this year's Australian Open in straight sets. He also defeated Norrie in straight sets at last year's Delray Beach Open.
Cameron Norrie vs Sebastian Korda prediction
Both Norrie and Korda are playing quite well at the moment, so this contest is hard to call.
Korda will feel confident given his positive record against the top seed, as well as his form so far. He's had decent results in the two tournaments he has competed in, unlike the Brit who has only just found some form after a poor start to the year.
Despite his tall frame, Korda is a pretty good mover around the court. He is also a powerful ball-striker and will be the one dictating most of the points in this match. If he remains steady throughout the contest and limits the unforced errors, there's not much that Norrie will be able to do.
Prediction: Sebastian Korda to win in straight sets.
