Before Finding Love with Her Current Boyfriend, Nelly Korda’s Mom Had a Surprising Tennis Player in Mind for Her

In a recent interview, Nelly Korda made a surprising revelation about her love life and her mother’s early influence on it. Before meeting her current boyfriend, Korda’s mom had a very different idea of who she should be with—none other than a famous tennis player.
Korda opened up about how her mother was a huge advocate for her dating a well-known tennis star, though she didn’t name names. “My mom always thought a tennis player would be the perfect match for me,” Korda shared with a laugh. “She was really into the idea before I met my boyfriend.”
While Korda didn’t reveal who the tennis star was, it’s clear that her mother’s matchmaking efforts didn’t quite work out. “I think my mom still wonders if I should have gone the tennis route,” Korda joked, adding that her current relationship is much more aligned with her own feelings and preferences.
Korda’s mother, known for her strong influence in her life, clearly had high hopes for a match in the world of tennis, but Nelly’s own heart found a different direction. Her relationship with her current boyfriend has clearly brought her happiness, even if it wasn’t the tennis star her mom initially envisioned.
