Watch Seb Korda - he is 21 today

Sebastian Korda (/ˈkɔːrdə/ KORD-ə; born July 5, 2000) is an American professional tennis player. Korda has a career-high ATP singles ranking of No. 50 achieved on 31 May 2021. He has won one ATP singles tournament, the 2021 Emilia-Romagna Open. He also won the junior title at the 2018 Australian Open, 20 years after his father Petr Korda won the senior Australian Open title.

Sebastian Korda is the son of Czech tennis player Petr Korda and former top 30 player Regina Rajchrtová, his father having been an Australian Open champion and French Open finalist in both singles and doubles. Sebastian's older sisters Jessica and Nelly are both LPGA golf professionals. Korda grew up playing competitive junior ice hockey from the age of 3, but decided to switch to tennis at the age of 9 after accompanying his father to the 2009 US Open.[1] At age 11, he won a golf tournament in Prague, in which sister Nelly also competed.[2]

The last two weeks, and his other sister Jessica finished in the top 30. Nellie won a major last week.

I'm not a tennis watcher anymore, but love my golf, and these three young people from Florida are talented AF!

This one with Felix and Zverev was pretty good as well.
Kid into the quarters. He reminds me so much of Ashe/

Who would have expected two Canadians and no Americans to make the quarters?
