Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

[4] Sebastian Korda from the USA and [7] Jordan Thompson from Australia will face each other for the first time in their careers. Sebastian Korda is currently 24 years old and ranked world No. 22 with a career-high ranking of No. 20 achieved in June 2024. In 2024, he has a win-loss record of 24-16 and reached the final of the ‘s-Hertogenbosch tournament. He has a 6-3 record in ATP tour events with quarterfinal appearances in 2022 and 2024.

Sebastian Korda made history alongside his father, Petr Korda, by becoming the only father-son duo in ATP rankings history (since 1973) to both reach the top 20. Petr Korda reached a career-high ranking of No. 2 in 1998. Sebastian achieved his biggest wins by defeating Medvedev, then ranked No. 3, in the third round of the 2023 Shanghai ATP Masters 1000 to reach his first ATP Masters 1000 semifinal. He also reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the 2023 Australian Open, defeating the then world No. 8. In 2021, he won the Parma title without dropping a set, making him the third father-son duo in the Open Era to win a tour-level championship. He reached the fourth round of the 2020 Roland Garros and 2021 Wimbledon as a qualifier, becoming only the third male player in the Open Era to achieve this feat.

At the age of 18, Sebastian Korda became the world No. 1 junior by winning the boys’ singles title at the 2018 Australian Open, exactly 20 years after his father won the men’s singles title at the same event. Sebastian comes from a talented athletic family, with his father reaching a career-high ranking of No. 2 on the ATP Tour, his mother, Regina, reaching No. 26 in the WTA, and his sister Nelly becoming the world No. 1 women’s golfer in 2021, and his other sister,

Jessica, peaking at No. 8 in women’s golf.

If Sebastian Korda wins in the quarterfinals, he will move back into the top 20 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings. His father, Petr Korda, won the Washington title in 1992 and reached the finals in 1991 and 1997.

On the other hand, Jordan Thompson, who is 30 years old, is currently ranked world No. 33 with a career-high ranking of No. 32 achieved in February 2024. He has a win-loss record of 25-17 in 2024, including winning his first ATP Tour title in Los Cabos at the age of 29. He became the first player since compatriot Kyrgios in 2022 to win both the singles and doubles titles at the same event.

In 2019, Jordan Thompson broke into the top 50 and achieved a personal-best 26 tour-level wins. He ended a four-match losing streak in ATP Tour quarterfinals by reaching his first semifinal and final in 2019 ‘s-Hertogenbosch. He reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time at the 2020 US Open and the ATP Masters 1000 fourth round for the first time at the 2019 Miami Open. He has notable victories over World No. 1 Murray in 2017 and No. 3 Tsitsipas at the 2023 ATP Masters 1000 in Indian Wells.

In 2018, Jordan Thompson had a challenging year on the ATP Tour but had a successful run on the ATP Challenger Tour, earning the second-most Challenger wins in a single season. He aims to equal his personal-best of 26 wins in a single season, which he achieved in 2019. This is his second consecutive quarterfinal appearance in Washington, and he looks to reach his ninth ATP Tour semifinal, his fifth of 2024, and his second above ATP 250 level after his semifinal appearance in London/Queen’s Club in June. He has moved up three spots to No. 30 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings.
