Prediction for the Australian Open match between Karen Khachanov and Sebastian Korda, which will take place on January 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Khachanov again played better than Medvedev at the Major, regardless of how the upcoming match ends. The current tournament for Karen is the best Australian Open in his career, but it is obvious that Khachanov does not intend to stop there. It is noteworthy that according to the results of AO, Khachanov can outstrip Medvedev in the ATP ranking and become the second racket of Russia after Rublev. Rublev himself, however, can't be outclassed as Andrey also performs well on the courts of Melbourne.

Regarding the results. Following the victories over Zapata Miralles and Kubler, Khachanov knocked Tiafoe and Nishioka out of the draw. Moreover, the Japanese were beaten in three sets, and Karen won two games against Yoshihito with a steering wheel, which is extremely rare at the last 16 stage of the Major finals. Karen is at the peak of his form, but the same can be said about Korda.

A couple of years ago, Korda was considered one of the most promising young tennis players. Sebastian has risen sharply into the top 50 of the ATP rankings, but since 2021 he has kept at the same level. And now, the year 2023 has started, and at the first tournament in Adelaide, we see that Korda is back in shape. In Adelaide, the American gets to the final, having outplayed players like Murray, Sinner, and Bautista Agut and losing only to Novak Djokovic, but in the fight. In Melbourne, Sebastian was eliminated from the tournament by Garin, Watanuki, Medvedev, and Hurkacz, while Medvedev won in three sets, however, with the help of two tie-breaks. The only thing worth noting in the negative bets on the American is the fact that in the last 16, Korda played a protracted duel against the Pole Gurkach, which lasted three and a half hours. The guys decided the fate of a place in the quarterfinals on a tie-break in the fifth deciding set.

Karen is good now. However, Korda is just a fire. The guy in 2023 has probably already collected more scalps than in the whole of last season, losing only to Djokovic and then in a very hard fight. The only question is whether Korda will have time to recover after a protracted match against Hurkacz, but the American is young, so yes rather than no. In general, we are on the side of Korda in this pair, although Karen once again proved that he knows how to prepare perfectly for the Majors, unlike the same Medvedev, who failed the Australian Open. As for the total, we are waiting for a hard match and four sets.
