Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina from Spain will face off against Sebastian Korda from the USA in their upcoming match. Korda currently leads the head-to-head record, winning both of their previous encounters. They met at the ATP Masters 1000 Miami on hard court, where Korda emerged victorious with a score of 6-1, 6-1. They also faced each other at the ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo on clay court, with Korda again dominating the match and winning 6-1, 6-2.
Let’s take a closer look at Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. He is 25 years old and is currently ranked 68th in the world. His career-high ranking was 21st, which he achieved in August 2023. In the same year, he improved his year-end ranking for the eighth consecutive time and finished the season at number 26. Throughout his career, he has a win-loss record of 115-120, with one final appearance. In the 2023 Adelaide tournament, he had a 3-1 record and reached the quarterfinals.
Davidovich Fokina’s most notable achievement was defeating Novak Djokovic in the second round of the 2022 ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo. He broke Djokovic’s serve nine times in that match, setting a record for the most breaks against the then-world number one in a best-of-three-set match. This victory paved the way for Davidovich Fokina’s first-ever ATP Tour final. He also reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the 2021 Roland Garros and his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal at the 2021 Monte Carlo. One of his memorable wins was a five-set victory over Ruud in the third round of the Roland Garros tournament.
In his junior career, Davidovich Fokina achieved great success, finishing as the world number two. His outstanding performance came in 2017 when he won the Wimbledon boys’ singles title and posted an impressive record of 20-1. Off the court, Davidovich Fokina has a soft spot for pets. He owns two cats and in 2021, he launched Adoptas.org, a pet adoption platform in Spain, with the aim of connecting those looking to adopt or foster a pet with shelters and rescues.
On the other side, we have Sebastian Korda, a 24-year-old player from the USA. He is currently ranked 22nd in the world and achieved a career-high ranking of 15th in August 2024. Sebastian and his father, Petr Korda, have made history by being the only father-son duo to both rank inside the top 20 in the PIF ATP Rankings history. Petr reached a career-high ranking of number two in 1998.
Sebastian Korda earned his biggest wins of his career when he defeated number three ranked Daniil Medvedev at the 2023 Shanghai Masters and number four ranked Alexander Zverev at the 2024 Montreal Masters. In previous tournaments, he also had notable achievements such as winning the 2021 Parma title without dropping a set and capturing the 2024 Washington title, 32 years after his father’s victory in the same event.
Like his father, Sebastian reached the fourth round of Roland Garros in 2020 as a qualifier and achieved the same feat at Wimbledon in 2021. He joined an exclusive group of men’s players in the Open Era to reach the fourth round in their debut appearance at both Grand Slam events. Sebastian Korda also followed in his father’s footsteps by winning the Australian Open boys’ singles title in 2018, exactly 20 years after Petr won the men’s singles title at the same tournament.
The Korda family has achieved success not only in tennis but in other sports as well. Sebastian’s father, Petr, reached number two on the ATP Tour, while his mother, Regina, peaked at number 26 in the WTA rankings. Additionally, Sebastian’s sister, Nelly, became the world number one women’s golfer in 2021, and his other sister, Jessica, reached a peak ranking of number eight in women’s golf.
Sebastian Korda is returning to the court after undergoing right elbow surgery following the US Open. He had to withdraw from the Brisbane tournament last week due to a lower back issue. In the 2023 Adelaide final, Korda missed one championship point against Djokovic but secured a victory against fifteenth-ranked Jannik Sinner on his way to the final.
The match between Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Sebastian Korda will take place on Court 4. Davidovich Fokina is seeking to reach his first ATP Tour quarterfinal since July, while Korda aims to continue his successful comeback after recovering from his recent surgeries.
