Sebastian Korda, ranked 22nd in the world, will face Felix Auger-Aliassime, currently ranked 29th, in the final of the tournament in Adelaide. The athletes have met three times before, with the Canadian winning two of those matches. The bookies think Korda will win. Let's see if the bookies are right and if they've put on a line on the match.

Felix had three games, defeating Cazeau, Giron, and Paul. The match against the latter went on for two hours and 48 minutes, with Felix eventually winning 7:6, 3:6, 6:4.

Sebastian Korda
The American finished last season very early, at the US Open, where he lost to Czech Machac in three sets in the second round. In Adelaide, Korda beat Davidovich-Fokina in two sets and Kecmanovic in the semifinals, but the match against Kokkinakis was cancelled due to an injury to the Australian. The hame against Kecmanovic lasted an hour and 20 minutes, with Sebastian winning 6:3, 7:6. Korda had 2 aces and 2 double faults, winning 74% of his points on his first serve and 60% on his second.

Expert Betting Tips
The Canadian has beaten two top American players recently, Fritz and Paul. Plus, Auger-Aliassime has a track record of beating Korda on hard courts, something Sebastian doesn't have. Despite all this, the bookies are on Korda's side, believing the American has the best chance of winning, which we think is wrong. We're on the side of Felix, who is very eager to take the title. As for the total, we expect a hard and long match, which will end in three sets.
