Sebastian Korda Is Gearing Up for His Sixth French Open Appearance
Korda recently concluded his fourth Italian Open campaign. The 22nd seed received a bye into the second round, where he defeated Aleksandar Vukic 6-3, 6-4. However, his run came to an end in the third round, where he lost 4-6, 2-6 to Jaume Munar. He also faced disappointment in doubles as he and his partner Flavio Cobolli lost in the first round to the second-seeded pair Harri Heliövaara and Henry Patten.
The American tennis star then landed in Paris for his sixth Roland Garros appearance. Korda is seeded 23rd in the main draw and will take on Luciano Darderi in the first round on May 25.

She shared a picture of a corgi she saw while walking through the streets of Paris. Her humorous caption suggests that she has a habit of secretly snapping pictures of cute dogs she encounters and sending them to Korda.
“If you ever see me taking sneaky pics of your dogs I’m sending them to my bf I’m sorry.”
Ivana, the daughter of legendary footballer Pavel Nedved, frequently supports Korda from the stands. She earned a Master’s degree in International Marketing from King’s College London. The pair began their relationship in 2021 and have remained together since.

Korda noted that she helps him unwind off the court and understands the pressures of elite competition.
“I’m very appreciative whenever she comes and we have a lot of fun together, she takes my mind off of tennis and we have fun and can relax and go sightseeing a little bit and just be normal in a way when you’re outside the tennis courts and it’s massive for any athlete just to take their mind off of things and just be fresh and ready to go whenever you go back out there and practice,” Sebastian Korda said.
