Furthermore, Korda went on to praise her brother and his skills, stating that she believed her brother was one of the best athletes in the family. The 24-year-old even added that she was jealous of his swing!
“He’s the best. Honestly, he’s the best. His hand-eye coordination is unbelievable,” she said. “His swing — I’m jealous of his swing actually. It’s crazy.”
But while Sebastian is predominantly a right-handed player, her sister revealed his dual ambiguity. “He’s a lefty. He’s a natural righty, but he plays golf lefty. He played hockey lefty. I mean, he grew up playing hockey. He was pretty good at it, too. Like he skates really nicely, plays golf nicely, plays tennis beautifully,” she said in his praise.
