"What a beast yesterday" - Andre Agassi's daughter lauds Sebastian Korda for his performance against Djokovic in the Adelaide International final
Former World No. 1 Andre Agassi's daughter, Jaz Elle Agassi, recently reacted to Sebastian Korda's post after his loss to Djokovic in the final of the Adelaide International 1.
The American won the opening set after a nail-biting tie-break, but lost the fiercely contested second set. The third set, however, was more routine for the Serb, as the final score read 6-7(8), 7-6(3), 6-4.
Following his loss in the final of the first tournament of the year, the 22-year-old turned to social media to reflect on his hard-fought match.
"What a start to 2023. Grateful for my team and for all the support I’ve received through out the week! The journey continues. Let’s go," Sebastian Korda captioned his post.
Andre Agassi's daughter, Jaz Elle Agassi, commented on the post, praising Korda's efforts. Agassi's son, Jaden Agassi, also liked the post.
"What a beast yesterday!," Jaz Agassi wrote.
