Baghdatis, M. - Giraldo, S.

It surprised me that Korda is the underdog here. Although it's not clear, I certainly didn't expect it, maybe the odds will change, but I remember Sebastian saying in Peru that grass is his favorite surface and he even considered himself one of the favorites to win Wimbledon. He definitely has all the weapons to dominate on it, with his serve, forehand, and backhand being solid, as well as his ability to return. He's usually a lazy player, but on this surface it's perfect for him. Tommy is not as good on grass, he's mentally weak, and he also makes double faults, and sometimes his forehand doesn't work, and his serve is also inconsistent. So it's either very good or average for him. Korda has a 3.1 lead over him, with the only loss being at the US Open in 5 sets, so he knows how to beat his fellow countryman.

A lot of value. Tiafoe won this tournament in Stuttgart last year, it is very important for him to defend points as he is going through the toughest period of his career this year. The American is good at playing on grass, and I used to consider Draper a super talent, I thought he would compete with Sinner and Alcaraz, but he did not stand out. Injuries have played a big role, but I believe the bigger problem is his psychology. When the game is not going well, he continues to make unforced errors, gets nervous, and shakes during his serves when there is tension, even though his first serve is strong, he often makes double faults on his second serve. I believe Big Foe will be calmer and will take advantage of this.

I am walking with the champion to the next stage. Hanfman played a very good match, he had 11 break points, but Tiafoe saved them all, played very well and took advantage of his opponent's mistakes to win the match. Draper looks disappointing and it seems that his game on clay and grass is not good. He won the first two matches, but struggled against much weaker opponents.
