LiontipsKokkinakis vs Korda. ATP Adelaide Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Kokkinakis faced Thomas Etcheverry in the second round of the tournament in Adelaide (7-5, 4-6, 7-6). Thanasi hit 23 aces, converted one break point and lost one game on his serve in the match against the Argentine. In the first round, we recall, the Australian beat Yoshihito Nishioka.
Professional qualities
Kokkinakis is a player whose game is largely based on his excellent serve. Due to this component, the Australian often takes the initiative from the very beginning of the rally. In addition, Thanasi's forehand allows him to finish attacks, and he feels confident at the net, which adds variability to his actions. However, the problem of dedication remains relevant. The Australian is capable of giving his best in front of his home crowd or in a high-profile match, but in less prestigious tournaments he often looks demotivated and indifferent.
Current indicators in the tour
Kokkinakis is ranked 77th in the world. Last season, Thanasi added two trophies to his collection. He won the competition in Sarasota and won the challenger in Sydney. In total, the Australian has won nine trophies in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Kokkinakis lost all three head-to-head matches against Korda.
Current form
Korda started the tournament in Adelaide with a victory over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (6-3, 6-3). Sebastian served eight aces, converted three break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. It should be noted that this was the first game of the new season for the American.
Professional qualities
Korda is one of the most versatile tennis players of his generation. His arsenal includes a strong forehand, a stable backhand that is equally useful in both attack and defense, and a quality serve. Sebastian moves well around the court, which allows him to withstand high-tempo exchanges of blows. However, his main drawback remains mental instability. The American often gets lost in key rallies and has difficulty with psychological preparation against more prestigious opponents. In addition, a series of errors can throw him off track, which negatively affects the ending of matches.
Current indicators in the tour
Korda is ranked 22nd in the world. Last season, the American won his second ATP title in his career. He won the competition in Washington, where he beat Flavio Cobolli in the final.
Interesting facts for betting
Korda reached the semi-finals in Adelaide last season.
