Sebastian Korda Continues Progress With Maiden ATP Final Spot At Delray

News 18  

American Sebastian Korda, who hit the headlines by reaching the fourth round of the French Open in October, has booked a spot in his first ATP Tour final after beating Britain’s Cameron Norrie in the Delray Beach Open semi-finals. “For me the biggest thing was kind of getting my consistency up,” said Korda, whose sisters Nelly and Jessica play on the LPGA Tour, the elite women’s golf circuit. So it’s super big for me to be playing these matches and kind of just getting a feel for my body, growing into my body and kind of building myself out both tennis wise and physically.” His run in Paris was ended by his idol Rafa Nadal and despite losing 6-1 6-1 6-2 to the Spaniard Korda says it was a “big step in the right direction” for his career. Korda ended the 2020 season with his first ATP Challenger Tour title and spent two weeks in training in Las Vegas under former world number one Andre Agassi.
