MELBOURNE, Jan 17 — Sebastian Korda’s disrupted build-up to the Australian Open did not appear to hinder his performance in the first round of the Grand Slam as he dispatched British number one Cameron Norrie with relative ease today.
“It wasn’t easy. I didn’t get a lot of preparation, didn’t get any matches under my belt. But, yeah, just super happy with the way I came out,” said Korda, son of former Australian Open winner Petr and brother of the LPGA’s number one golfer Nelly. “It’s always special with a lot of history in the family here, my dad winning here and then both my sisters winning the Australian women’s golf tournament. It’s a lot of success here.”
The 26-year-old rose through the world rankings last year and won his first ATP title in Mexico but was unable to carry that form into the new year.
