Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
In their upcoming match, [24] Sebastian Korda from the USA will be facing [9] Stefanos Tsitsipas from Greece. Tsitsipas currently leads their head-to-head record with one win. Their previous encounter took place in the Round of 32 at the 2021 ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati tournament, where Tsitsipas emerged victorious with a score of 7-6(5) 6-3 on the hard court surface.
Let’s take a closer look at Sebastian Korda’s background. He is 24 years old and currently ranked as the world number 25. Korda reached a career-high ranking of number 15 in August 2024. This achievement made him join his father, Petr Korda, as the only father-son duo in the history of PIF ATP Rankings to be ranked inside the top 20.
Korda has had some notable victories throughout his career. Notably, he secured his biggest wins en route to the semi-finals of the ATP Masters 1000 tournaments. He defeated world number 3 Daniil Medvedev at the 2023 Shanghai tournament and world number 4 Alexander Zverev at the 2024 Montreal tournament. In 2021, Korda also won the Parma title without dropping a set and later went on to win the Washington title, which his father had also won in 1992. This made them the first father-son duo to win the same ATP Tour event.
Regarding his Grand Slam performances, Korda reached the fourth round of the 2020 Roland Garros and the 2021 Wimbledon as a qualifier. He became only the third men’s player in the Open Era to achieve this feat in their debut at both tournaments, following in the footsteps of Bjorn Borg in 1973 and Mikael Pernfors in 1986. Additionally, Korda became the world number one junior by winning the boys’ singles title at the 2018 Australian Open, exactly 20 years after his father claimed the men’s singles title at the same event.
Moving on to the venue of the match, it will take place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, USA. This tournament is scheduled to occur from March 19 to March 30, 2025. Korda’s family has a significant sporting background. His father, Petr, reached a career-high ranking of number 2 on the ATP Tour, while his mother, Regina, reached number 26 in the WTA. His sister, Nelly, became the world number one women’s golfer in 2021, and his other sister, Jessica, achieved a peak ranking of number 8 in women’s golf.
Looking ahead to Korda’s performance in Miami, he aims to reach his second fourth round appearance in this tournament. In his tournament debut in 2021, he reached the quarter-finals, defeating world number 9 Diego Schwartzman in the fourth round. Korda has a current record of 8 wins and 18 losses against top 10 players. However, he has won his last two matches against them, including victories against number 10 Grigor Dimitrov in the Queen’s Club and number 4 Alexander Zverev in the Montreal quarter-finals.
Now, let’s shift our focus to Stefanos Tsitsipas. He is 26 years old and currently ranked as the world number 10. Tsitsipas achieved a career-high ranking of number 3 in August 2021. He holds an impressive record of 11 wins against top-3 opponents, including 2 wins against world number 1 players, 4 wins against world number 2 players, and 5 wins against world number 3 players.
When it comes to Grand Slam performances, Tsitsipas has reached the semi-finals of a major tournament on six occasions. His notable runs include the 2021 Roland Garros and the 2023 Australian Open finals, where he faced Novak Djokovic on both occasions and ended up as the runner-up.
Tsitsipas has also achieved success in other tournaments. He won the 2018 Next Gen ATP Finals at the age of 20 and the 2019 Nitto ATP Finals at the age of 21, becoming the youngest champion of the latter since Lleyton Hewitt in 2001. Additionally, Tsitsipas has secured 12 ATP Tour titles, including three ATP Masters 1000 titles in Monte Carlo (2021, 2022, and 2024), and he recently won his first ATP 500 title at the 2025 Dubai tournament.
An interesting fact about Tsitsipas is that he became the youngest player among 30 others to defeat the trio of Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal before turning 21. He defeated Djokovic in the third round of the 2018 Toronto tournament, Federer in the fourth round of the 2019 Australian Open, and Nadal in the semi-finals of the 2019 Madrid tournament.
In terms of recent form, Tsitsipas has been performing well. He has won 8 out of his last 9 matches and secured the Dubai title. He also holds a record of 7 wins and 2 losses against top 50 players this year. Tsitsipas will be aiming to advance to the fourth round of the Miami tournament for the fifth time in the last six editions. It is one of the two ATP Masters 1000 events where he is yet to reach a semi-final, the other being Indian Wells.
Finally, in terms of ATP Masters 1000 win leaders since 2020, Tsitsipas is tied in first place with Alexander Zverev, both having 80 wins. They are followed closely by Daniil Medvedev with 78 wins, Jannik Sinner with 77 wins, and Hubert Hurkacz with 69 wins.
