The American has been in impressive form since his first-round loss to Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard at Wimbledon. He won his maiden ATP 500 title at the Citi Open before reaching the semifinals of the Canadian Open, beating the likes of Taylor Fritz and Alexander Zverev in the process.
Korda last competed at the Cincinnati Open, suffering a 5-7, 1-6 defeat to Pablo Carreno Busta.

Sebastian Korda vs Corentin Moutet prediction
Korda is a highly proficient player on hard courts as the American has six event finals on the surface, winning the title at the Citi Open this year. However, the US Open has been one hard-court event where the World No., 15's performance has been abysmal as he won only one match at the Flushing Meadows in four attempts.
Moutet has extensively played in clay courts in 2024. The Frenchman only started playing hard-court tennis before the US Open. He has won a single match out of the three matches that he has played on the surface this season.
Given the hard-court form, and considering the crowd support that will be behind him, Korda is the outright favorite to win this match.
Pick- Korda to win in straight sets
