Sebastian Korda vs Kwon Soon-woo prediction
Kwon hasn't played a lot of matches this season due to recurring injuries. Competing for the first time since March, he didn't show too many signs of rust as he outplayed Ruusuvuori to notch up his first win on clay this year.
Korda played a pretty decent match himself to move past Mayot in his opener. He reached the fourth round of the French Open on his debut in 2020 but hasn't made it that far since then.
The American didn't have a tough time dealing with Kwon the only other time they crossed paths. Given that Kwon hasn't competed quite often this year, Korda should make ight work of his opponent to advance.
Pick: Sebastian Korda to win in straight sets
