Despite Nelly Korda Getting Out of Her Slump, Elder Sister Jessica’s Mama-Hen Heart Beats Fast Owing to the Other Athlete From Korda Fam
Jessica Korda may not be golfing right now, but she is never away from sports. Belonging to a family where every member is a leading name in the sport of their choice, Jessica can’t catch a break. She has unofficially played tennis with her parents and competitively played with Nelly Korda.
However, her little brother, Sebastian Korda, who is coming into the ranks of top tennis players, has given his elder pregnant sister a reason to raise her heartbeat. Let’s dive into the story.
Little brother raised the heartbeat of Jessica Korda with his performance.
When Jessica Korda found out she was pregnant, she decided to step back for some time from her favorite sport. But she continues to maintain her ties to golf through her younger sister, Nelly Korda. Sadly, she won’t be on the green with her sister to witness her rise after her seasonal slump.
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.”
Jessica is a proud big sis to excelling Sebastian and Nelly Korda
Nelly Korda, who went through a tumultuous season this year, got her groove back at the Ryder Cup. Though her team lost in the final, Nelly maintained powerful performances and delivered some excellent shots. Now, she is expected to be doing better in another tournament as well.
As for Sebastian, who reached his maiden Masters 1000 semi-final after beating Shelton, is super excited. He says: “It’s super cool. I played at a really high level. Ben did as well, so I think it was a really high level.” Jessica can be proud of both of her siblings.
