“It’s complete BS”: When Nelly Korda rushed to defend her brother Sebastian calling himself the ‘worst’ athlete in the family
Athletic success runs in the Korda family. Nelly Korda and Jessica Korda are LPGA stars and their brother, Sebastion, is an upcoming tennis sensation. Their father Petr Korda was the 1998 Australian Open champion while their mother Regina was an Olympic tennis player.
The Korda siblings have always cheered each other from the stands. Nelly Korda was present at Sebastian’s Australian Open match against Daniil Medvedev in January 2023. In fact, she had reportedly woken up half an hour before her alarm was supposed to ring on match day.
After Sebastian beat the then-World No. 7 in three sets, the former went on to say that he was the worst athlete in their family. However, the statement was not received well by his sister Nelly, who defended him saying:
“It’s complete BS. He’s the best. Honestly, he’s the best. His hand-eye coordination is unbelievable. His swing – I’m jealous of his swing actually. It’s crazy. He’s a lefty. He’s a natural righty, but he plays golf lefty.”
She further added:
“He played hockey lefty. I mean, he grew up playing hockey. He was pretty good at it, too. Like he skates really nicely, plays golf nicely, plays tennis beautifully.”
Korda finished her response in an amusing manner:
“He’s full of s**t. Excuse my French,” she concluded.
She even noted how Sebastian is equally talented at the sport she plays, and went on to complement his golf swing.
