PARIS - Sebastian Korda had never won a Tour-level match coming into this year's French Open but on Friday the 20-year-old American extended his amazing run to book a last-16 clash against his idol Rafa Nadal.
He is the son of 1992 French Open runner-up Petr and brother to LPGA golfers Nelly and Jessica while his mother Regina was also a tennis professional. "Growing up, I named my cat Rafa after him. That says a lot about how much I love the guy," Korda told reporters while Nadal was on court against Italian Stefano Travaglia.
"I'll be the happiest person on planet earth if I do get to play him. I'm really looking forward to it."
