T.Paul - Korda

I was surprised that Korda is once again an underdog here. Grass is his favorite surface and he even considered himself one of the favorites to win Wimbledon. He has all the weapons to dominate on it, as his serve and forehand and backhand are solid, along with his return. Typically he is a lazy player, but on this surface it suits him perfectly. Tommy is not as good on grass, he is mentally weak and tends to make double faults, sometimes his forehand doesn't work and his serve can also be inconsistent. It can be either great or average. Korda leads their head-to-head record 4-1, with his only loss being at the US Open in a 5-set match, so he knows how to beat his fellow countryman. Just last week, Korda defeated Tommy on grass in the Netherlands (easily, 6-4;6-2), so it is logical to choose him again.
