Pierre-Hugues Herbert will lock horns with Sebastian Korda in the round of 32 at the Estoril Open 2022 on Tuesday, April 26th.
In what promises to be a mouthwatering encounter at the first round of the Millennium Estoril Open, Pierre-Hugues Herbert will face Sebastian Korda. The match will take place at the Clube de Ténis do Estoril clay court in Portugal.
Korda, who is heading into the tournament as the eighth-best player, began his clay season at the Monte Carlo Open where he defeated Botic van de Zandschulp in the first round. The American then stunned Carlos Alcaraz in the second round in Monaco but eventually suffered feated against Taylor Fritz in the third round.
On the other hand, Pierre-Hugues Herbert has been in decline after losing last year’s Marseille Open final to Daniil Medvedev. The Frenchman failed to make it past the qualifying rounds of the men’s singles event at the Barcelona Open, but got past that hurdle in Estoril. He will now be looking to cause an upset against his 21-year-old opponent on Tuesday.
These two players have faced each other only once before on the tennis court. That match was won by Korda, who beat Herbert in straight sets at the Lyon Open last year.
Korda will be looking to put a disappointing Barcelona Open behind him when he faces Herbert on Tuesday. Our prediction for the match is a win for the American player in straight sets.
