Korda to win - 11/5

This will be the first meeting between US star Korda and German ace Zverev, a surprising statistic given they turned professional in 2018 and 2013 respectively, but the American looks capable of taking the bragging rights in this contest.

Korda has had an easy path through to the quarter-finals, which started with first-round opponent Vasek Pospisil retiring after just three games of the opening set.

The 24-year-old secured a brilliant victory in his second match, beating compatriot Taylor Fritz 6-4 7-6, before he was handed a walkover when Casper Ruud pulled out of their third-round tie.

Korda should be full of energy heading into Sunday's contest, something which can't be said of opponent Zverev following his hard-fought win over Holger Rune.

The German won 6-3 7-6 against the Dane and it will be interesting to see how quickly he has recovered from that assignment, especially with a tie-break having been needed in the second set.

Korda won the Washington Open in July, dropping two sets en route to victory, and he can continue his fine form on the hard courts by booking his place in the semi-finals of the Canadian Open.

Total sets - 3 - 5/4

While neither player has dropped a set in Montreal, that could be about to change when they meet in the quarter-finals and the 5/4 on offer for a three-set match is hard to ignore.

Both players are strong servers, a valuable asset on hard courts, and breaks of serve could be hard to come by in what should be a tight affair.

As previously mentioned, Korda droped two sets on his way to landing the Washington Open last month and his opponents during that tournament were not at Zverev's level.

The German, a two-time Grand Slam finalist, is one of the best in the world and he is expected to put in a strong account of himself on Sunday evening.

It would be a surprise should Zverev fail to win a set, but he could run out of steam as the contest goes on and that is when Korda's fresher legs could see him through in a three-set epic.
