Murray vs Korda Prediction

Murray’s latest game saw more winners (31) than unforced errors (19). In contrast to the first round, where he only struck six shots, the number of unforced errors was still significant. The young American would struggle to keep up with the Scot’s serve, groundstrokes, and return game. In his most recent game, Korda scored 52 goals, including 16 aces. He will have a solid chance of winning if he can match Murray’s performance in terms of numbers. However, as was already noted, Murray can call on a lot of expertise, which should help him in this situation.
