Best moment of Korda’s life

Sebastian Korda pocketed over $200,000 from his run to the Roland Garros last 16 but was more pleased by convincing childhood idol Rafael Nadal to give him a signed shirt.

Korda, the world number 213 who came through qualifying in Paris, went down to 12-time champion Nadal on Sunday in the fourth round. But the son of 1998 Australian Open champion and 1992 Roland Garros runner-up Petr Korda was delighted by the opportunity to share the same court as the 19-time Grand Slam champion.
