Mackenzie McDonald will compete this week at the Delray Beach Open as a wildcard and begins his tournament against Sebastian Korda. The two Americans will square off in the first round to mark their second career meeting. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Korda won on clay at the 2023 French Open in his only other encounter with McDonald. He will be looking to double this advantage, and competing at a tournament he often excels in will have him confident of victory.
Korda has made it to at least the semi-finals in his two appearances in Delray. His highlight came in his debut campaign in 2021 as he finished as runner-up. Korda has registered his six wins this season in his last eight matches.
After a runner-up finish at the San Diego Challenger, Korda produced a quarter-final finish in Dallas last time out. This has seen him move to 48th in the live ranking.
Mackenzie McDonald is having an inconsistent season and has struggled the most when out on the tour. Through seven matches to start the campaign, he has won four times.
Yet to win a main draw match on the tour, McDonald is coming off a quarter-final exit at the Quimper Challenger. Currently ranked 115th in the live ranking, McDonald is making his sixth appearance in Delray.
The 30-year-old has produced two semi-final finishes at this event, most recently in 2023.
