Sebastian Korda's sisters Jessica and Nelly Korda adorably send their love and support to American as he undergoes surgery
Sebastian Korda recently shared an injury update after missing the entire Asian swing, disclosing that he had undergone surgery on his elbow. The American's sisters Jessica and Nelly Korda, both golf superstars, have expressed their heartfelt support for the 24-year-old.
Korda had a dream start to the North American hardcourt swing, clinching his maiden ATP 500 title at the 2024 Citi Open. With his triumph, the 24-year-old not only broke into the top 20 of the ATP rankings but also mirrored his father Petr's win at the same event 32 years ago.
The American reached the semifinals of the Canadian Open before suffering an opening-round exit at the Cincinnati Open in the lead-up to the US Open. He last competed on tour at the New York Major, where he was defeated by Tomas Machac in straight sets in the second round.
After pulling out of all the events during the Asian swing, Sebastian Korda took to social media to announce that he had made the decision to undergo elbow surgery. The American disclosed that the procedure was successful and expressed his eagerness to get back on the court.
"Hi everyone, I wanted to update you all—I’ve been dealing with some elbow issues and my team and I decided surgery was the best option. Everything went great, and I can’t wait to be back on court soon. Thanks for all your support! 🙏❤️," Korda posted on Instagram.
Both of Sebastian Korda's sisters adorably extended their heartwarming support, with Nelly sending her love through a heart emoji and Jessica encouraging him to come back "stronger" after the setback.
"Comeback is always stronger than the setback 🔥🫡," Jessica commented.
"❤️," Nelly posted.
