Tyler Fritz will face Sebastian Korda in the quarterfinals of the Dallas Open.

Fritz has had a mediocre start to the season. After exiting in the Fed Cup semi-finals, he reached the fourth round in Melbourne last month. The American defeated Valentin Royer and Stan Wawrinka at the Australian Open, but lost to Lorenzo Musetti 6-2, 7-5, 6-4.

So far, Fritz has tightened the screws at the Dallas Open. He started his campaign with a hard-fought victory over Marcos Giron and then easily defeated Brandon Nakajima in the second round. The top seed defeated Nakajima 6-3, 6-4 in 1 hour and 9 minutes.

Meanwhile, Sebastian Korda has been struggling to find his best form over the past few months. After a quarter-final exit in Brisbane, he was eliminated early in Adelaide and Melbourne. The U.S. also reached the finals of the San Diego Challenger, losing in straight sets to Zachary Svajda.

Korda looks determined to do well at this year’s Dallas Open. He started his campaign with a convincing victory over Michael Cheng before defeating Frances Tiafoe in the second round. The 25-year-old beat Tiafoe in straight sets, 7-5, 6-1.

Taylor Fritz vs Sebastian Korda Prediction

Fritz has been the top seed in Dallas for the past four tournaments but has yet to win an event. In 2023 he reached the semi-finals but lost to Yibing Wu Divide into three groups.

Korda, meanwhile, has not reached an ATP Tour final since January 2025. The American has struggled to improve over the past few years and will need to step up to make his mark.

Fritz will rely on his patient accumulation on the court and efficient baseline game. Korda, meanwhile, will rely on his timing and approach in the next round.

There is no doubt that Fritz will be the clear winner of this contest. The Americans will see their chance after a strong performance against Nakajima and should be able to weather the storm in the quarterfinals.

Pick: Fritz won in three sets.
