American ATP star Sebastian Korda managed his bolt-from-the-blue moment quite well in Paris. As a result, his girlfriend is super proud of him. As Korda’s famous girlfriend Ivana Nedved shares a glimpse of their unfortunate trajectory from Roland Garros, fans get to see the true behind-the-scenes moment from their Paris trip.

Sebastian Korda’s girlfriend Ivana Nedved took to her official Instagram story to take a sly dig at her boyfriend’s fate during his French Open participation. In her Instagram story, fans spotted Nedved in a raincoat, which surely speaks about the unpredictable rain in Paris. “saved my day (or the last 2) This raincoat aka the best 15E spent @Roland Garros this week considering the continuous rain”- captioned Korda’s girlfriend.

In her other Instagram story, fans understood the context as Nedved dropped a picture from Korda’s match against Soonwoo Kwon in Paris showing the scoreboard. “2 days and many more rain showers later”-she wrote. Well, Paris’s unpredictable weather has been a true pain in the back for many athletes including fans. This Wednesday, the authorities had to call off many matches in the outside court. Only the matches held in the covered Philippe Chatrier Court and Suzanne Lenglen courts were continued amid rain.

Along with Hubert Hurkacz’s match with Brandon Nakashima and Ben Shelton’s match with Kei Nishikori, Sebastian Korda’s second-round Roland Garros match was also suspended. This truly disappointed Korda’s fans, who later compensated their disappointment with Korda’s win over Soonwoo Kwon yesterday.

A few days back fans spotted Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend drenching in the rain as she went to watch her boyfriend’s match against Argentina’s Federico Coria. A fan captured her trying to cover her head from the rain with her hand and wrote- “No no! the weather doesn’t match with this it Girl Hi @moorgs.” 

While Fritz’s girlfriend faced this unfortunate scene, Korda’s girlfriend used her brain to wear a raincoat and save herself from Paris’s shower. Now that, Nedved’s boyfriend ended up winning the match, the wait and the new get-up surely paid her off well. After this, he will visit his 2022 French Open opponent Alcaraz in the third round.

Sebastian Korda marches past Soon-woo to face off against Alcaraz again

After suffering a delay, Sebastian Korda still managed to pull off a victory against Korea’s Kwon Soon-woo by 6-4, 6-4, 1-6, and 6-3. Following this victory, Korda walks forward to meet his old rival Carlos Alcaraz in the tour’s third round. In the same round of the same tour, Korda was defeated by the Spaniard in 2022.

There is no doubt that Carlitos is one of the best clay court players in the world, so I am clear that it will be difficult to defeat him. Two years ago we faced each other here, also in the third round, and it was a nightmare for me. Only I hope that this time everything will be different,”- said Korda.

Further, this ATP star mentioned how he feels his playstyle on clay court suits him the best in the warm season. Therefore, this unexpected rain might have caused his nervousness- “I prefer it to be hot so that my ball bounces high and my serve does more damage. Mentally it is difficult to play in conditions that do not benefit my game, but I am satisfied with my performance so far in the tournament.”

Nevertheless, Ivana Nedved’s preparation expressed that she is ready to support her boyfriend no matter what in this French Open tour. Following their strong bond, Sebastian Korda might turn his table this time against Alcaraz in the coming third round of the Roland Garros. What do you think?
