Nelly Korda is the daughter of former tennis star Petr Korda, but according to her, she and her siblings were never forced to pick up the sport. She said she played several sports during her childhood, including skiing, gymnastics, and others.
Nelly Korda is currently the World's No. 1 golfer and one of the most popular stars of the present time. Her father, Petr Korda, is a former Czech tennis star who won the Australian Open in 1998 and reached as high as No. 2 in the ATP rankings. However, despite such success, he never thought about making his children play the same sport.
On Friday, December 20, during the pre-event press conference of the PNC Championship, Petr Korda was asked if Nelly was pushed into tennis during her childhood. The golf star took it upon herself to respond.
