Sebastian Korda will square off against Miomir Kecmanovic in the quarterfinals of the Hellenic Championship 2025.

Korda rallied from a set down to upset seventh seed Alexei Popyrin 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the first round. He was up against Damir Dzumhur in the second round. The American found himself in a familiar position after going down a set for the second match in a row.

Korda remained unbothered by this, and raised his level as the match progressed. He stormed back to take the second set, leveling the proceedings. He outplayed Dzumhur quite easily in the decider, breaking his opponent's serve twice for a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 comeback win.

Kecmanovic edged past Kamil Majchrzak 7-6 (4), 7-6 (4) to reach the second round, where he was up against third seed Luciano Darderi. The Italian came out the gates swinging, racing to a 5-1 lead in a matter of minutes. However, he failed to close out the set on his first try despite having a couple of set points.

Darderi eventually got the job done on his second try to claim the opener. Kecmanovic got back on track with a three-game run to pull ahead in the second set. Darderi brought his momentum to a halt with a two-game run of his own but the Serb bagged the next three games to take the set.

Kecmanovic struck first in the decider to go up a break. He found himself in a jam while serving for the match. However, he fended off three break points and wrapped up the proceedings on his third match point for a 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 win.

Korda arrived in Athens on a three-match losing streak but has rediscovered his best after a couple of battles this week. His ranking had dropped to No. 86 after a three-month injury hiatus. He will return to the top 50 next week thanks to his run here.

While Kecmanovic won the Delray Beach Open in February, his results since then have been extremely inconsistent. This is just his second quarterfinal since he won his only title of the season. His previous quarterfinal was at the Winston-Salem Open, where he lost to Korda quite tamely.

Korda also won their other meeting this year in Adelaide in straight sets. The American seems to have figured out Kecmanovic's tactics, and unless the latter drastically alters his game plan, Korda will be favored to win once again.

Pick: Sebastian Korda to win in straight sets.
