20-year-old Sebastian Korda reached the pre-quarters of the Wimbledon Championships 2021. The American player defeated British No.1 Dan Evans in the third round in four sets to seal his spot in the second week of the Grand Slam. The final scoreline of the match was 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.

Fans are pretty aware of how tennis legend Andre Agassi has helped Sebastian Korda. The two have spent quite some time together on the court and Agassi has definitely managed to improve the youngster’s technique. In the post-match interview, Korda recalled how he first met 8-time Grand Slam champion.

“I have been talking with Andre for probably about a year now. We started around this time last year. My dad, kind of, set it up and he’s been awesome. We spent 14 days together in Vegas and he welcomed me to his family. He has got an incredible family,” said Korda in the interview.

He even called Agassi a special person and revealed what he told him just before his third-round match against Dan Evans at the Wimbledon Championships 2021.

“He’s a special person. We talk basically every single day, every single match about what I’m feeling, what I should do, and the most important thing- he told me yesterday just to enjoy,” added the 20-year-old.
