LiontipsHubert Hurkacz vs Sebastian Korda. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2023 Australian Open (January 22, 2023).
Command Analysis
Hubert Hurkacz started his 2023 Australian Open campaign with a landslide victory over Pedro Martinez, but all of his other matches were hard-fought. He needed five sets to overcome Lorenzo Sonego and Denis Shapovalov. In total, he spent 7.5 hours battling against those two opponents. This is the furthest Hurkacz has ever made it at the Australian major.
Sebastian Korda created one of the main sensations of the current tournament - he ousted the last-year finalist Daniil Medvedev in the third-round match. Korda closed the Russian athlete in three straight sets. In the first two matches, he overcame Christian Garin and Yosuke Watanuki. Before the start of the major, Korda secured the runner-up finish in Adelaide.

Tip and bets
Korda, without a doubt, is demonstrating the best tennis in his career. In the third round, he knocked Medvedev out of the competition. Just before the Australian Open, he reached the final at the tournament in Adelaide, where he put up a good fight against Djokovic. We believe that the American has a very good chance of getting into the quarterfinals of the Australian Major.
Our prediction - handicap (-2) to Korda
Two years ago, the opponents met in Delray-Beach. That match ended in two straight sets, but we don't think this meeting will be over so quickly. Korda is in fantastic form and will definitely make it difficult for the Polish athlete. Take the over.
Second bet - total over 39 games
