Virtanen and Korda are on the Day 1 Schedule at Open Provence 2025 on Monday 10 February 2025. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.

Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Otto Virtanen, a 23-year-old player from Finland, will be facing Sebastian Korda from the USA for the first time. Currently ranked at World No. 98, Virtanen achieved his career-high ranking of No. 91 in November 2024. He broke into the Top 200 in November 2022 and the Top 100 in October 2024 after winning his sixth Challenger title in Brest. Notably, he saved three match points in this tournament. Virtanen made his tour-level debut in 2020 at the Davis Cup, where he earned his first eight tour-level wins. These wins included victories against players like No. 39 McDonald and No. 68 van de Zandschulp, leading Finland into the 2023 SF. He also qualified for the US Open in 2023 and 2024, as well as Wimbledon in 2024. In Wimbledon, he secured his first Grand Slam main draw win by defeating Purcell in the first round but lost to No. 13 Paul in the fifth set. In his Challenger career, Virtanen has a record of 74-47 with six titles, including three in 2024. Notably, he won his first title in 2022 at Bergamo where he defeated several top 50 players, including Zhang, Borges, and Struff, in the semi-finals and final. Despite having a strong record, Virtanen is still seeking his biggest career win, as he has a 0-5 record against Top 30 players. His most notable victories have come in Davis Cup indoor matches against No. 39 McDonald and No. 47 Borges. He has reached all six of his Challenger finals indoors and is looking for his first ATP Tour win since defeating Fognini in Almaty in October.

On the other hand, Sebastian Korda, a 24-year-old American player, is currently ranked at World No. 23, with a career-high ranking of No. 15 in August 2024. He made history alongside his father, Petr Korda, by becoming the only father-son duo to rank inside the Top 20 in PIF ATP Rankings history. Sebastian achieved this milestone after Petr reached No. 2 in 1998. Korda has had significant victories in his career, including wins over No. 3 Medvedev at the 2023 Shanghai ATP Masters 1000 and No. 4 Zverev at the 2024 Montreal ATP Masters 1000. He has also had success in tournaments such as the 2021 Parma, where he didn’t drop a set, and the 2024 Washington, where he won the title, coincidentally 32 years after his father’s victory in the same event in 1992. Sebastian has shown promise in Grand Slam events as well, reaching the fourth round of the 2020 Roland Garros and the 2021 Wimbledon. He became the third men’s player in the Open Era to achieve this feat in his debut at both events, following in the footsteps of Borg in 1973 and Pernfors in 1986. In his junior career, Korda also made a name for himself by winning the 2018 Australian Open boys’ singles, two decades after his father’s triumph in the men’s singles. The Korda family has a rich sporting history, with Petr reaching No. 2 on the ATP Tour, mother Regina peaking at No. 26 in the WTA, and sister Nelly becoming the World No. 1 women’s golfer in 2021, with another sister, Jessica, reaching No. 8 in women’s golf. Korda has reached three of his nine ATP Tour finals indoors and is seeking his first ATP Tour win indoors since defeating No. 155 Grenier in the Marseille first round last year. In that tournament, he made his debut and eventually lost to No. 13 Dimitrov in the second round.
