Adam Walton vs Sebastian Korda Prediction & Picks - ATP Hangzhou Open

Prediction published on 9/18/25, 12:21 AM  by Tyler Doty in Tennis Picks

Two players separated by just three places in the rankings will face each other this week in one of the many round of 32 matches at the ATP 250 tournament in Hangzhou: 26-year-old Australian Adam Walton and 25-year-old American Sebastian Korda. 

Adam Walton had a particularly successful run at the Mexican tournament in Los Cabos in July, reaching the semi-finals against Denis Shapovalov. After winning his first round in Toronto against Benjamin Bonzi, he caused an upset at the Cincinnati Masters 1000 by winning his first two rounds and eliminating top seed Daniil Medvedev in a three-set duel. This is a rather encouraging and promising sign for the rest of the season.

Sebastian Korda, meanwhile, has only played in one hard-court tournament in recent weeks, having returned to the courts in August after more than two months without playing. However, this break in his season did not seem to affect the American's talent, as he racked up three consecutive victories in Winston-Salem to reach the semi-finals of the tournament. However, he had to withdraw before even starting the match against Marton Fucsovics. Having suffered a back injury recently, he is attempting a comeback in this Chinese tournament.
