Sebastian Korda will aim to go one better in this year's Adelaide International. 2025 saw the American be the losing finalist and his 2026 campaign begins with a first round match against Thanasi Kokkinakis. Can the Australian spring a surprise? Read our match prediction below.
The winner of this outdoor hard court match will face either fifth seed Valentin Vacherot or Miomir Kecmanovic in round two.
Korda was the second seed in this tournament last year but is unseeded this time around. The 25-year-old is 51st in the live rankings but was up to 15th in August 2024. He was in good form at the end of last year reaching the Athens semi-finals in November.
This is his second tournament of 2026 and he made it to the last eight in Brisbane,
He leads Kokkinakis 3-0 in previous meetings. They were due to meet in this tournament last year but Kokkinakis withdrew,
Thanasi Kokkinakis only played four matches last year, winning just one of them. He was a quarter-finalist in this tournament last year before that withdrawal. The second round of the Australian Open was reached, losing to Jack Draper in five sets.
The world number 450 missed the rest of the 2025 season due to needing pectoral surgery.
We tip Korda to win in straight sets.
