Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Sebastian Korda Prediction & Picks - ATP Barcelona

Prediction published on 4/16/25, 6:27 AM  by Tyler Doty | Modified on 4/16/25 at 6:29 AM in Tennis Picks

Number 3 seed this week in Catalonia and one of the tournament favorites, Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas will face Sebastian Korda this Wednesday for a place in the quarter-finals.

Last season's finalist in Catalonia, Stefanos Tsitsipas will once again be one of the contenders for final victory this week. The Greek, who relinquished his Monte Carlo crown last week in the quarter-finals to Lorenzo Musetti, played at a very high level on his debut in Barcelona on Tuesday. A clear-cut win over Reilly Opelka and little time spent on court. A quality performance which clearly shows that clay remains the world No. 16's preferred surface.

This Wednesday, in the last 16, Sebastian Korda will have the privilege of facing the Athens native. The American, who was eliminated on his debut in Monte Carlo a few years ago, unlocked his clay-court account with victory over Italy's Matteo Arnaldi. A fine victory for this attacking player, who has not often shone on this surface, and who now has his benchmark match this year. Ranked 24th on the ATP rankings, the North American will be able to test his mettle against one of clay's leading names, in the role of outsider.
