However, there is another Korda sibling with athletic genes, Sebastian. At 23, his name is taken in the company of seasoned golfers. This week, he is playing in the Shanghai Masters against Ben Shelton. The two players who never faced off against each other went head to head the first time at the quarterfinal.
Korda made 17 aces with his lefty serve. Though he let slip five match points from 6/1, it was in the deciding-set tie-break. On Thursday, he scored of prevailed 6-7(10), 6-2, and 7-6(6). Jessica, who has been watching this match from home, shared how scared she was for her little brother. In her Instagram Story, sharing an image of the result, she wrote: “Not my heart rate at 100 in that third set.”
