Sebastian Korda vs. Hugo Gaston: Preview and betting tips

The Next Gen ATP Finals tennis tournament will begin on Tuesday, November 9, and will feature eight of the best players under the age of 21 before the start of the current season. The American Sebastian Korda, who has Czech roots, will also be missing.

Due to the absence of Jannik Sinner and Felix Auger-Aliassime, Sebastian Korda will be the number one seed in Group B. He will fight for a place in the semi-finals together with Hugo Gaston, Lorenzo Musetti and Sebastian Baez.

As usual, the tournament for the rising stars of world tennis will be played with special rules. A set will be played to four winning games only, with a tiebreak following in the event of a 3:3 tie. The match will be played to three winning sets and individual games will be played without advantage.

Sebastian Korda dominated the 2021 Quimper Challenger and the ATP 250 tournament in Parma. However, the Delray Beach final, the Miami quarter-final and the Wimbledon eight-final are also undoubtedly worth mentioning.

His opponent on Tuesday will be 21-year-old Frenchman Hugo Gaston. He has been particularly successful on clay, as evidenced by finals in Gstaad, Switzerland, Iasi, Romania, and Tulln, Austria.

Tuesday will be the first ever meeting between these players. The paper favourite, however, is American Sebastian Korda, who is more comfortable on the hard surface. To this we must add the fact that he is 28 places better off in the ATP rankings.

So what to bet on? Most likely, Korda should enter the tournament victorious. At the same time, together with the Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz, we can rank him among the biggest favourites of the whole event.

Betting tip | Korda will win at odds of 1.44
