Korda's sisters make request of their brother

Published Oct 03, 2020

Sebastian Korda's run from qualifying has been one of the most captivating storylines from a very wild Roland Garros. The 20-year-old America hails from a family of talented athletes, and they know what they want.

Given how late Roland Garros started this year, Christmas is around the corner.

He is currently ranked No. 213 and is guaranteed to rise inside of the Top 140 after this performance.
