MELBOURNE : Sebastian Korda thought he had seen the back of a wrist problem that sprang up in Adelaide before subsiding earlier this month, but it returned with a vengeance at the Australian Open on Tuesday to derail the American in the quarter-finals.
The 22-year-old said he was struggling to even hold the racket after making a forehand in the second set. "During the matches, it was completely fine. Then just one kind of mishit return, and it started to bother me a lot of after that.""I kind of felt that spot that I was feeling before," Korda said."Some forehands I couldn't even hold the racket. Volleying was almost impossible for me.
Korda, who stunned former U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev and Polish 10th seed Hubert Hurkacz to reach the quarters, said there were plenty of positives from the Grand Slam despite the nature of his exit.
