Nelly Korda showers love on her brother amidst gearing up for the 2023 US Women’s Open

8-time LPGA Tour winner Nelly Korda is part of probably the most athletic family in the US. Back in the day, her parents used to be professional tennis players, with her father, Petr, even winning the 1998 Australian Open. Over the past years, Korda and her siblings, Jessica and Sebastian, have also carved out their very own paths in golf and tennis, respectively.

In fact, the 24-year-old golfer and her siblings also happen to be each other’s biggest cheerleaders! Earlier this year, she was quick to rebuff Sebastian when he called himself the “worst athlete” in the family. More recently, the duo of Jessica and Nelly Korda were among the happiest after their brother made his comeback at the French Open. On Wednesday, the major winner’s love for the tennis star came to light once again, with her taking to social media to wish him a happy birthday!
