The Korda family is a star-studded one with the parents and children being sports stars. Nelly Korda is one of the daughters of retired Czech professional tennis players Petr Korda and Regina Rajchrtova. Her sister Jessica Korda is a Golfer whereas her younger brother Sebastian Korda is the world No.33 tennis player. As the youngest Korda is about to play his final against one of the all-time greats Novak Djokovic in the Adelaide International today, take a look at how well he ranks within his family in terms of net worth.
For the uninitiated, Nelly Korda is one of the best Golf players on the women’s side. She has won 7 LGPA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) titles so far. She has also reached World No.1 ranking before. The 24-year-old turned pro in 2016 and in 2017, she joined the LPGA Tour. She was a known face to Golf fans way back when she was just 14 years old and made the cut at the US Women’s Open.
According to reports, $9.8 million is 24-year-old Nelly Korda’s on-course earnings and endorsements throughout her young career. Due to the huge earnings, her net worth is also massive and racks up to $11 Million starting in 2023.
22-year-old Sebastian Korda has been making a name for himself in tennis after having a massively successful junior career. This young American therefore also enjoys the financial benefits of being a professional at the sport. His career prize earnings contribute to more than $2.6 million. With the sponsorships and endorsements also chipping in, his net worth is estimated to be around $5 Million.
So as of now, the youngest Korda doesn’t earn as much as her sister but he has some chance to reduce the gap if he can beat Novak Djokovic in the Adelaide International Finals tomorrow.
Sebastian Korda is on the fast track to greatness
22-year-old Korda is slowly making progress to the top of the world. Though he didn’t win an ATP title in 2022, he managed to reach a career-high ranking of 30 in May. With the injury that occurred during the grass season, he has gone down again in the rankings after May. He also hasn’t gone past Round 3 in any of the grand slam tournaments played this season.
Korda was able to win 1 out of the 4 top-10 matches played last year. One was a close loss to one of the Greatest Of All Time Rafael Nadal after going up 5-2 in the third set during the second-round match in the Indian Wells Masters 1000. He was also able to reach the final of the Gijon Open where lost in straight sets to Andrey Rublev.
In 2022, his best performance in a Grand Slam tournament is third-round appearances in the Australian Open and French Open. After missing Wimbledon due to an injury, he failed in round 2 in the US Open. This year in the first tournament played, he reached the finals and will face Novak Djokovic.
