Sister Nelly's LPGA winning streak was 'inspiring,' says Sebastian ...
Ahead of third-round clash with Carlos Alcaraz in Paris, Korda is hoping winning is contagious.
On the heels of his sister Nelly Korda's generational winning streak, on the LPGA Tour Sebastian Korda is hoping a little of that magic rubs off on him at Roland Garros.
This spring, the younger of his two sisters has been one of the stories of the sporting world at large: The world No. 1 on the LPGA tour, Nelly Korda won five straight tournaments across March and April, becoming just the third woman to ever have a winning streak that long. Her streak was snapped in the first event she played in May, but she was back in the winner's circle the next week.
Nelly Korda's run captured attention both inside and outside the world of sports, and on the tennis tour, too. Jessica Pegula praised her run, and after his second-round win over Kwon Soonwoo, Sebastian Korda said he loved to watch her dominate (even if it made him nervous).
"She's such an unbelievable competitor," he said of 25-year-old Nelly. "She'll do anything to win out there. She'll put her teeth into everything. She's a true warrior.
"Just watching her play right now, it's really inspiring to watch ... It's a lot of fun.
