A polemical kiss to a handful of noisy spectators and an eloquent lip: “Go Juve”. A new Sebastian Korda revealed himself on the Grandstand: after winning the tough match “away” against Flavio Cobolli (7-6 4-6 6-4) in two hours and 45 minutes at the Internazionali d’Italia, the calm son of Petr came clean, first antagonizing the audience at the Foro Italico and then unleashing social media by sending a message: “The fans behind me insulted my girlfriend, my family and my team for 2 and a half hours. Thanks for giving me extra motivations”. A few hours after Jannik Sinner landed at J-Medical, the paths of tennis and the Lady crossed again on this day of crossover between Juve and the racket.
THE KISS TO THE PUBLIC
—
Korda’s exit is not a coincidence: Sebastian, number 27 in the world, is engaged to Pavel Nedved’s daughter, Ivana. The American tennis player has a direct link with a symbol of Juventus and expressed his Juventus support with a fixed gaze on the camera, after beating a true Roma player like Cobolli: the tennis battle between the two moved on to football support, with Korda who he cleared a few stones after a match in which the Grandstand audience did their part. It was a small group of fans in particular who provoked the American several times, especially in the heat of the match: once the challenge was won, Sebastian responded by blowing them a kiss, causing all the other spectators to boo. “Forza Juve” added more spice to an afternoon full of adrenaline and tension.
